My daughter and i found this book today.
I had gotten it years ago at a thrift store.

The faerie poems are so lovely and each page, so beautiful.
It made me smile a tad today when i saw this one.
Maybe it will make you smile, too.

I saw this today and i feel i am beginning to surface after being in deep waters all week.

My ex boyfriend i was with for 5 years before my husband, passed away Thursday.....and i feel sad.

"Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
I can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
'Cause people, they come together
People, they fall apart
And no one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People, they...

Something i really haven't talked much about, is that i own a Healy device. Since November 2021. I acquired it after i did some fundraising. It is a FDA clearance approved device that i have found very few people know about yet in the United States. Approximately three years ago a friend from...

we are all
just actors

This song has been playing in my head this week....upon hearing the balloon news

I see the parking lot of the church where his boyscouts was,

Would you like to hear a sprite of good news?
I think this dreary world would mostly say, yes. and please.
We had a wedding here, yesterday.
It came on very unexpectedly and quickly.
My husbands little brother and his girlfriend decided to get married
after many years of a colored journey...
Sometimes i zoom out, to the macrocosmic view. To remember the larger picture. To see outside of my mysterious illness. Sometimes, that macrocosmic view does not land on the spiritual end but more on the physical world level. :rolleyes::eek::jaw-drop: That has a few pros and MANY cons. Yet, is...
It tis the new year, so happy New year to y'all.

A few years ago, under strange circumstances, i met my current therapist, via my bedroom obviously. My husband was adamant as were other family members that i receive, yet more, therapy. Why? Because they want me fixed. And since they view this as largely a remainder of psychological issues...

Trouble?
Looks like we'll have to
send someone down.
A lot of people asking for help

Tonight's his crucial night. You're right.
We'll have to send someone down
immediately. Whose turn is it?
That's why...
And so its near and almost here. Some years, i find it incredibly difficult and much too painful...and some years, i feel the magic more than the suffering. This is one of those years for me after a few incredibly tough years on my mind and body with this illness. Christmas was hardly something...
Disintegration flourishes
We are the builders of these new times
rarely does a plan precede and survive chaos
of this magnitude
yet stars explode
and new life is created,
it will all happen as it needs to
one thing is certain
a dawning of an inevitable new era
is indeed upon us
and we
