• Called to something more • Strong resistance to the core • Drowning in quicksand

• I know what fills me • Yet, I run the other way • Running from myself

•What resides within? •Disconnected emptiness •What can fill the void?

• I want to be held • Weightless in your warm embrace • Swaddled, cradled, safe

Tell me about you • Every twist and turn; the works • While I ignore me

Clocks tick and leaves fall • Moments portioned out in tea • All will find their end

Life. The ups. The downs. • Navigating beauty. Pain. • Full heart. Heavy heart.

Unkept hair. Same shirt. • Unshaved legs. House looks lived in. • I feel safe with you.

Embrace all of you. • Beauty is embarrassing. • High. Low. Known. Unknown.

Grounded and solid • Bringer of whimsy and joy • A brief love affair

Born of my choices • Trapped in a downward spiral • Now finding freedom

Is the price of true friendship worth the pain?

Eyes that see. Silence. • Bearer of crucial knowledge. • Tongue held to protect.

Small or all? A choice. • An internal wrestling match • Born of awareness

The painful process • of becoming the unknown • Unearthing beauty

You got this. Me, too. • Jazzed up and raring to go • Take the world by storm.

No expectations • Freeing up the space inside • Unleashing, well, me

Do this. No, not that. • Stop being so critical. • How to know what’s right.

Do it at all cost • A permission slip to fail • Grace to find my way

Down is up. Up is … • Heart. Hurts. Mind. Numb. What was I … • Must keep it simple
