We should all see things so simply… the basics of bone the sky unchanging blue sandhills that endure despite eroding thighs.

The bravest person I know is the parent facing life after the loss of their child. I’m trying not to live in fear, not to future trip. I’m trying to send love and light and strength and healing energy. I’m trying not to be furious at the Universe who is taking parents on this journey. […]
