Be Mindful
Be mindful of what you think;

and discover the fate you have created.
~ paraphrased from a lesson learned.

What Sarah McLachlan sings about in Good Enough, with such an achingly sorrowful voice, is an all-too common story. We often learn as children to understand that we’re not good enough, that we should be happy with whatever expressions we can find that seem to express love. Perhaps we learn it through the emotional or [...]

The transformative moment for any loss comes when we realise we’ve moved from grieving for what we no longer have to reliving the joy we experienced when we had it.
This is the bitter-sweet moment in the transformation from bitter to sweet.
And while tears will flow either side of this moment, their character is utterly changed [...]
Traces of Me
I fire arrows into the night
Never knowing if they strike their mark
Until the light of morning
When they cannot be found
Still, I do not know
Traces of me lay hidden
In the darkness that is you
