Relief

When you reach the timewhen that light turns on,when you believe the self-reflection,what it tells you, what you see,I hope you find the help you need. We are not put here with thewherewithal to heal,or express how we feel. One generation can’t teach anotherwhen they weren’t taught to dealwith the single hardest thing there is … Read more

You can look aheadand reflect on beforewhile keeping your feet plantedfirmly on the floor. The present is a giftfrom the past.A chance to enjoywhat you’ve worked towardsand a chance to make change everlast.

Asymmetry

In a world imperfect,we cannot expect symmetry.For the curved roads and uneven hillsremind us of unpredictability. The ability of the ground to shakeor the boulders to tumble.Our lives are often guidedby how we clear blocked paths.
