Thought and Memory

Ode to Huginn and Muninn

By Darryl Houston SmithPublished 2 months ago 1 min read
Thought and Memory


Although the slow venom of thought can taint each memory, a harsh clarity, rather than comfort, illuminates the pain.

Having emerged from despair, you have an inner light that can shine even brighter.

Within the memories of suffering lies a profound truth that can weigh heavily upon us. This truth serves as a reminder of the lessons learned through hardship, shaping our resilience and strength.

Instead of focusing on the still waters that reflect darkness, seek the light beyond them. Recognize that what may seem unsettling truths can lead to growth and transformation, guiding you toward a more hopeful and empowering path.
