out of the darkness

“The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it.
It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.”

-Brené Brown

I download the Calm app today thinking it can’t hurt.
I have tried everything else.

I will keep you posted.

Snoopy didn't start off being a Beagle. It's just that ‘beagle' is a funny word. 

– Charles M. Schulz

He makes ginger cookies, and cleans up the kitchen.
I clean the house, while he walks the dog.

Waiting

“"Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a FRIEND…"

- Elizabeth Gilbert 

I pulled into the park, sat in my car, and waited.
I wondered when I would stop this waiting.
Wondered when I would allow myself to wait for no-one,
and get on with my life.

fog

. . . We love fog because it shifts old anomalies into the elements surrounding them.
It gives relief from a way of seeing

- Eavan Boland

We chased the fog yesterday.
