J'ai une âme solitaire
I am a lonely soul
J'ai une âme solitaire
I am a lonely soul
The French say it so beautifully
Because it is a
Beautiful state of being
A state of grace
And self-love
And reliance
And patience
You can find peace
Within yourself
In the profound silence
Of being alone
You can tap into the knowledge
And Love
The Universe and the Divine have
Given to you
Without the distractions
And noise and congestion
Of humanity.
I am grateful for this life
Of aloneness
I am a lonely soul
J'ai une âme solitaire

The Art of Adult Sobriety
The most sober way for adults to live is to let it all end here. The hardest challenge for any adult is taking back themselves. As you go further in life, you realize that what truly breaks you isn't the storms you face, but those moments when you know you should stop, but you can’t.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
