Vanishing Steps
Something lingers beyond the edge of night
Alone in the dark —
Nearing footsteps disappear.
A chilling silence.

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
