A Fracturing of Tribulations…

When walking with our Great Spirit through the tunnel of darkness, we will be followed by a mass of conjoined strengths derived from Christ’s teachings ~ not of freedom from sorrow, rather freedom through sorrow.

Adventures in Dementia

Comfort

Family of origin and only Sister speaks to me she makes me hear her tests me tries me imitates me echoes me lifts me holds me in my soul of memories from when we are youthful and our mother’s blood runs cold while running down from the walls in a room in our home… and […]
