What?

-
I love my kids. They are such great little humans. That being said, I've really been wondering about something recently. Like, why cant kids hear? I mean, if you even begin to talk about anything that doesn't involve them, they have acutely keen hearing and a real ear for detail. But, why when I'm saying to the child, time to get out of the bathtub, she cant hear me and I'm literally three feet away from her? Completely deaf.
If I say to the other child, do you want a coke, even from a different room, I can acquire an affirmative response. But, pick up your clothes from the floor; total utter hearing loss.  It's a real head-scratcher.

  I was asked, 'how do I feel this day' I am not myself, as some would say   The shifting shadows call   Darkness begs for a free fall     Beyond the third dimension     Past assurances and permission     Just behind the Veil     Enter the Quantum Realm       Dip my toes in the Styx       Hands shrouded by mist       On the far side of the light       Darkness provides me sight         Beyond time, space, and reality         Grasping my tether, I am free           Connected to Spirit and family           Reintroduce myself to me           Wisps of incense guide the way           I am oblivious to and wholly myself this day

The Path Well Traveled

 Darkness all around. I should be frightened but I am comforted. She draws near me now. I can hear her bare feet upon the wet, dark green leaves that litter the ground. The moon is but a sliver of silver in an inky sky, broken apart, as a mosaic, by the tree tops that tower above. The smell of earth surrounds, with a faint hint of lavender, carried on the breeze. The trees sway toward the earth as she approaches. The mighty sentinels bowing to her power, even as they dwarf her in size. Her steps are light; only the faint sound of ruffling leaves beneath her feet betray them. Great physical stature is not needed. As she comes closer, the atmosphere charges, the breeze stills, running streams become as glass. She consumes any space she occupies, even breathing becomes difficult. The only thing that moves are tears. She procures them in abundance. She is closer still. My breath catches. I can see her black shroud, her hood hiding most of her countenance. I ponder how I am so familiar ...

Music of Loss

A year. What changes in a year? A smile, a memory, the entire world. Reality. A year can see so much. A looking glass into time. Time past, time forgotten. Like sand through my fingers. Echoes and nothing more. A memory. Denial saves the place. It holds me, a willing captive. Don't ever let me go. Who clings to who? Grief my constant companion. Adding tallies to her book. Scratches in a clay wall. The wall that is patched in many places. A barrier against reality. We hovel together, Grief and I. I leave but she doesn't worry. She knows I always return to her. She is the keeper of my memories. She never loses my treasures. I trust her as she trusts me. Hold me now, my comforter. Envelop me in your presence. In God's arms, enfold us both. Here amongst the ones we have lost.  Although they are but whispers to me. You can hear them. Translate it for me. Her interpretation is always a familiar melody. Everything is clear through the tongue of loss. The ancient language that conn...
