Troosha

My heart goes out to you and can understand the blackness of the spirit, inexpressible at times, or making one feel like not sharing at all, but it'll come to pass and it invariably strengthens the deeper fountains within.

Darker than your usual, this one matches the way that I've been feeling lately too.

There seems to be some good examples of "parched thinking" in the daily news.
I ask facetiously, What's wrong with People?
I guess it must be "infirmity of will."

It is so wonderful Troosha that you allow your heart - your muse to yet put words to pen ~ It is Good -- as you confess, as you empty - there's that well - that spring of inner hope, joy and wellness in healing, all ready to erupt.  I send you Love from afar and big hugs ~ this is beautiful writing -  ~ Elyse
