On a rainy night desire,
hot clothes and towels are taken from the dryer
The cold weather can be uncomfortable,
Yet, the Sun and fire play a part in getting comfortable.
Winter activities and weather-hungry pangs.
vendor cabins with hot soup gangs
Hearty soup feeds the body.
No need for a whisky toddy.
Food feeds the body and soul
assuring the mind and body are in control.
Comfort can't be itemized,
but with hot cacao, one can be vitalized
When headaches and stomach pains cause discomfort.
a hot water bottle or heating pad supplies much-needed comfort.
Receiving comfort from sunbathing,
stresses and worries are fading.
With heat from the fire,
one can retire.
Relax and sleep.
Wellness comfort reap.

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.
