Night comes none to soon. Night time brings the darkness, the quiet, the cozy. My joy, palpable; my eyes yearn to close, win out, So so good, so so right, Good Night.
The Way
These three showing me the way. No shit no líe, it's been a rough last twelve or so months. Standing up and stepping up for these three has given me more purpose and power than expected. So grateful for them, for the foundation they create...just by being. So blessed I am to have them in …
