Some lightness somewhere.
A feeling of certainty.
The ache of a purpose.
The fear.
The crippling doubt.
Here it comes.
— Kate Tempest, from “The Prophet Tiresias” in Hold Your Own

lovely photos and writing, quite moving.
Yes Debi…
and let the dark pass, and let the light in once again.
Yes…
Tis not the “Laddie-lad I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” wail I hear, but more akin to …There’s the mind-devil at play when stuck in the in-between. In-between the Lighters and Darkers…
Love this!!!!
Think I’ve stopped at every station….
Oh, me too.
Yikes! Run away! Run away!
Ha!
That lightness….it’s there. We just need to get out of our own way. And find it.
Clear the shrubbery!
Something we all look for…all the time.
We do….
The ache of a purpose… love that David. <3
