And still, after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
”You owe Me.”

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.
— Hafiz.

I left home to strengthen my heart. 

I am practicing how to receive pain without the purge. 

I am learning to feel my feet on the ground in the tempest of trauma.

Oh, the temptress. I used to be a fool seduced! 

Chapter 1: How To Bury Your Heart.—wants a revision. I no longer need to protect my spirit. I am open to listening. 

Keep writing; the finch calls through the window. Yellow wings glitter gold at daybreak, carrying the warmth of the ever-depreciating sun. 

One day I’ll be as the glass aperture flung wide to carry the bird's songs. Reflecting light through all angles. A lens without a mirror.
