i remember when she told me that this
darkness was not going to take me.
and that i was simply off track.

i remember when
she told me that i would receive a gift
in this after all was said and done.
and that my true nature rests in joy.

temporary
off track
gift
true nature.
(i used to say these words over and over)

this is just one part.
just one part of your entire huge life.
i know it sometimes feels like it's
just too heavy to keep walking around
with this weight.

but soon enough, it will be like that small stone
you skipped on the lake just last summer.
that is how it will be.

and soon you will forget the fog was even here.

you are not alone.
you are not broken.
you are still you.
you are capable.
you are healing.
you are going to be okay.
you are not powerless.
you are on your way.

peace....
