Tension is just part of the process (uncomfortable as it may be) of getting to “whatever’s next”.

Music birthed within • Deafening silence of grief • Where to go from here?

My relationship with music changed when my dad died.

Hear everybody but listen to yourself.

Dream me an ending • Promise me a guiding hand • Lead me back to me

I wish I could hand my dreams over to someone else and have them lead me home.

Ultimate healing from shame comes from being witnessed in our humanity.

See me past the now • Know me deep through stories told • Witness the pain, joy

We all have a story. We all have a need to be seen, known.

The opening goes on shrinking and in my face doors are shut. My name is not Alice, and this is not Wonderland.

Fresh breeze draws me out • Circling vulture, seated threat • Outside feels unsafe

I’ve never considered myself agoraphobic, but I may be developing symptoms.

We fit together in every way.

Free lunch. Humble pie. • Sexual innuendo? • Same book. Different page.

Cut me off a piece of that humble pie because there is no such thing as a free lunch.

You can’t skip chapters.... Live your (life), don't miss out.

Overexerted. • Heavy heart. Gloomy outlook. • Unseen. Tapped out. Bye.

There are days I wish there was an “eject button” for life.

You are so kind and thoughtful; how did I get so lucky to find you? - Judah

Mirror, mirror … stop. • Through his eyes, I am a queen. • I’m the fairest one.

I have a stone-cold heart when it comes to compliments.

Love your neighbor as yourself and love yourself very well.

Close proximity • A friendly smile and a wave • But don’t get too close

Surrounded by neighbors without actual relationship. Is that the way it’s supposed to work?
