I Am Sorry, But I Will Not Aplogize

I am sorry, but I will not apologize for the days and months I have been quiet/removed. My self has needed attending to.

It is good to be simple; to listen to the trees, to feel the warmth of burning logs on a campfire, and to breathe the freshness of seasonal air into your lungs.

Frozen Layers

When we spend so much time freezing our truth(s) in a sort of vessel of undisclosed time, any melting of the protected layers can feel like a certain death.
