There is still vibrancy to behold
To touch a petal To caress a flower To hold beauty within one’s arms There is still vibrancy to behold There are sumptuous delights Let it grow all around Let it lead to a connection There’s always hope
Don’t get too comfortable with who you are
Dear diary This is day 40 something… perhaps…of a crazed new world order. I’ve lost count of days. Yet, the calendar still beckons. Perhaps. The days bleed into the night. The night becomes morning with barely a whisper. The work is brutal and continuous. Where it ends is […]
Don’t sink the ship just because you’re not the captain
