So, I’ve been doing a good bit of soul-searching lately. And I’m quite confused. Part of me is like “Oh, okay, that’s gotta be it…” and another part is saying “But wait, what about this…?” Do you ever feel like you take one step forward and five steps back? It’s like the harder you try … Continue reading All Over the Place
Do we?
I've been reading Jeremiah lately and I'll tell you, I can't help but wonder if it isn't about the current state of the world. You see, I don't believe in time. I don't think it exists. Yes, we have clocks and calendars, but they are means of organization. That's it. Something that people made to … Continue reading Do we?
Reaching Out
Have you ever noticed that when we most should reach out, we withdraw? Or, maybe I'm the only one who does that. Lately I've been struggling with some emotions and stress and I've been working on this by myself. I'm not asking for help. I don't usually ask for help. I'm a grown woman. I … Continue reading Reaching Out
What Level Are You?
I believe that life is painful in so many ways for so many people. And pain affects people in different ways. People who live with emotional pain are or can be depressed or needy, ill or difficult to get along with. People with physical pain can be cranky or irritated. Something that is hard for … Continue reading What Level Are You?
Migraine
Even through my closed eyes I could see the light…all lights off, the door closed and I lay on the cement tile willing this to stop. Blinding light in the dark. No source. Just light shooting pain like daggers. My vision failed as heat waves rose and I shivered as the temperature dropped. Cold sweat … Continue reading Migraine
My Skin
I need to take a hit; just a quick fix; it’s been so long since- the last time I slit, my skin. You know what I mean; we all have a crutch to lean; takes the edge off things; a little relief it seems: no spin. I’m spiraling right now; losing control somehow; wanna let … Continue reading My Skin
Cracks
“We are broken children living in adult size, made from broken pieces, cracks scattering the light…” A line from a poem written long ago. Still fresh as the day I wrote it. I can choose to look at life from a broken point of view, or I can put my pieces back together and see … Continue reading Cracks
Deaf and Blind
I was reading in Isaiah and was struck with how plain the words were… And yet, I worry that I am that which was foretold. Who is deaf? One who cannot hear… But if the ears are never opened, how can one hear HIM? It is impossible. You see, in another place, it is written … Continue reading Deaf and Blind
Less is More…
Do you ever get obsessed with a thought or idea? What started out as a passing glimpse becomes a full on panorama. The thought grows. We feed it. What wasn’t an issue two minutes ago is now about to blow up… All because we feed the idea. Minimalism is a way of life for many … Continue reading Less is More…
Silence
I look around and see so much I have to be thankful for… My personal life has been full lately, mostly good things, things that should make me overjoyed. But I just want to sit in silence and cry. This past Mother’s Day was the first in years that I didn’t spend crying the entire … Continue reading Silence
