Personal Journal
In progress
Be a student of life and a lifelong student.
Release
the wisdom of age
takes root to blossom
in crevices of the brain
emptied by letting go
Ossifight
Somehow, I got old
before really learning to be young
the old in my bones is calcified
the young in my soul is still growing
End of life
no matter which end-of-life decisions were made,
there are always regrets, there is always that guilt —
live parts of me holding onto memories of a dying you
dead parts of me holding onto living memories of you
Simple but not empty
The goal of life: simple, but not empty.

Giving is getting
Give, and blessings boomerang back to you.

Kindling
Every dawn relights my soul.
In pieces
The emotions are part of the wound.
Tenacious
Reality is irritatingly obstinate
and so very gosh darn’d sticky!
