My adrenalin is curdling
Douse me in rose water to dampen the steel blue and olive green in the mist
breathe
Gratitude and silver kettles
stepping stones
Complacent?
no
Diffident.
naivete surrenders

....

i don’t care about that
i care about the smell
.....

I come back to the waterfall I borrowed that flooded my house
I gave it back

Healing the mind is a process
calming
We need to surround ourselves with beauty
In sight, sound
Tactile
feeling objects
Stress is unforgiving
unless you forgive it yourself
It's a practice
forest bathing
Ocean cleansing, constantly moving
Strawberries and hibiscus in the sunlight
Stroking the forehead of your child
gently
The smokiness of the molasses
The sweetness of the maple syrup
the purity of the water

.....

How can you be the keeper for so many people and love but just one
It has to be the longevity

I'm an ol' woma in a young woma
i'm a young woma in an ol' woma

I am a woman

calm down girl
Nah! **** it!
carry on

.......

You know when you feel that excitement of life in your throat?
it's a guttural tone
The gratitude zone.
Primeval.
When it hits you
You know it and you smirk on the right side of your lips
