they don’t care
what you may think or say or
feel. find something you love
put your heart in it and
never give up

my thoughts racing kept me up at night chasing. voices whispering i tried to be polite but they would not heed i shouted tore at my hair until my head bleed. finally i got busy with chores and like a plant without water they could not live no more #katyamills
faith
Faith without works is dead! within our everyday actions, from the moment we wake up to when we lie down to sleep, we can claim our faith and find freedom in doing so. thoughts and feelings are colored by judgment calls which may or not be accurate. how many times have you made an appraisal only to find out you were dead wrong? and then how you feel about it shifts. feelings are colored by thoughts and thoughts, influenced by how we feel. years can go by being misled, having misconstrued a situation, misunderstanding and being misunderstood! our actions, on the other hand, are tangible, concrete. they cannot lie. what you do is true.
test flick gnash
i was going about my day with
the best intentions the
squirrels started to chatter told me
all kinds of things none of which were true
gnawing on acorns leaving shells
scattered around my mind
i was gonna have to sweep and mop
convinced i was no good
the world a terrible place
i found a nice tree to sit under
for a spell i
lay my head back butterflied my arms out
closed my eyes
prayed for several days. the squirrels
they finally jumped
out from the crown
clung to the tree testing
their little claws flicking
their puffy tails
gnashing their teeth they
took off chasing into the high branches
when i finally stood
my thoughts were peaceful
friendly. you
gotta make the most of what
you got
i gnashed my teeth
and tested back

thoughts
have their own life
you cannot tame nor deny them
you can notice them
become aware
go do what you do
let them be
these are only thoughts
they need not hurt you
or change or
possess you
14 twelve
in 12 we found fourteen
a chance to come clean
there can be no
hesitation
the thoughts
the feelings
cannot be trusted
go and do what must be done
today is the only
day
life left us walking
life left us for walking
You were walking out with your keys to your car, and all the person you thought you would be and are. Anyone could see. You might just need to give up on those thoughts, look up and see what’s left for you. I know I don’t usually have the energy anymore, but when I do… I wonder where you went, when you go. Please, go easy on yourself. I have a secret I think you oughta know, sometimes I follow you in the snow. Life left us for walking, disappearing into forest. See, that’s a mighty gift. Please, go easy on your heart; are you taking all your meds? I made a medicine cabinet, to keep mine all together. I got the goddam flu shot, I know I’m getting old. I wonder what life has in store for us, when tomorrow comes. Then I grab a book to stop the wondering.
