Beauty in small places. ✨
Light shines on a white feather that lies amid brown leaf clutter.

You see...I've given up on tracing lines, I told vanity. The roses are dying, time is reaching for the hawks, thunder getting stronger. Another storm silences me, beckons eyes to lift to sky, I ask the trees what to do next. Live, they say, keep dancing, accept.

Back in the hermit cave..drinking tea at 4 in the morning because I’m totally confused now. Airport security pulled me over for suspicious powder wrapped in little bags in my suitcase.”it’s hot chocolate…you can smell it…” I see now that might have looked suspicious…other half thinks it’s hilarious.

Small travels into magical places. ✨
A small stone path winds gently into the green. Both sides long grass bends.

In dark brown capital letters on a light yellow background, a quote by Emily McDowell:  “Finding yourself” is not really how it works. You aren’t a ten-dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. You are also not lost.  Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. “Finding yourself” is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.
