She lives by the sea
where the whitecaps
flirt with the sky
in fleeting flourishes
a flashy white crown
on sparkling waves
rhythm of a heart at rest
tempo smooth and
soothing frazzled
edges of an inland mind
until the endless
motion wears edges
smooth and polished
like sea glass of the heart
pastel feelings
softly ebb and flow
with bold thoughts
casting brilliant streaks
across a pastoral
landscape of gentle
breezes swaying slender
branches leaning in
to touch the soft
taste of the salty air
She waits for them with
unhurried impatience
as their wings slice
through the lift
of the mighty air
to deliver their
precious cargo...
Hopes, Dreams,
Acceptance
Understanding
Power, Knowledge
Wisdom, Discernment
Love
She looks for
their safe return
each day and
She does not know
that they look
to her with
unhurried impatience
for respite and
safe haven.
She lives by the sea.

YOUR LIFE!!!!
PLEASE STOP TAKING YOUR LIFE! It will change as you grow and YOU WILL CHANGE what you know We NEVER stay the same. we are ALWAYS changing and liberating, and learning, and discerning, who WE CHOOSE to take up our space. YOU decide who's showing you grace. YOU decide whose love is true and whether their connection is elevating YOU. DO NOT SETTLE no matter what you were told. DON'T let self-doubt make your mind unfold. YOU HAVE THE POWER to heal and BE BOLD. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH. Follow YOUR OWN PATH and BE YOUR OWN PROOF, that life is worth living NO MATTER HOW HARD, so give it all you got and let down your guard. I know the mental tries hard to take over but know that YOU HAVE MEANING and every day you get a do-over. And when you feel in that dark place, just be still and HOLD THAT SPACE. It's okay to not be okay, but that doesn't mean you should go away. That doesn't mean you should give up, RIDE IT OUT and see what's up. LIFE IS A JOURNEY, each stage is a gift, KEEP MOVING FORWARD thru all the rifts. SHINE YOUR OWN LIGHT and

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

This makes me think of Proverbs 31.
