This is my story
So there's this thing about life... We all have a story and that story defines us, empowers us, or derails us. What will your story be?

Listening
The dark can be so daunting The light can seem so dim Still, from heaven, you are calling. Can I hear your voice again?

the simple things
Rest, weary eyes, I'll keep watch Breathe in deep while I listen Among the noise, tune into the sound of my voice, carrying you high above the chaos to a place of freedom Too mired you've been in the temporal Mud sticking to your shoes reminding you who you were, ash formed into beauty I … Continue reading the simple things
