You gave me
your heart to love, and to protect. My constant companion, the one I clung to above all others. You licked my tears, we walked, we ran, we snuggled, we snoozed. And I always knew that you were the one… The chances of soulmates being slim. I felt awe and wonder in your presence, a wise,…

Energy
flows between us now. A constant stream of connection, contentment, and also delicious turbulence as we navigate the trickle, to the stream to the roaring ocean. To love is to die, in order to be reborn better, more fully formed. More you, open wide to the discovery of self, and a glorious other. To love…

Embrace
the beauty in the mundane, while the everyday drudge may feel overwhelming sometimes, even often. Go within and find the power to step back, to zoom out, to be. Pattern brings power and what you do consistently makes change. The dripping tap eventually cracks the basin. It is simply a matter of time, of pushing…

Samurai swords are folded from battered tempered steel, making their strength unrivaled, Dear One. I look forward to…

Kanvhwiya for Frank
An old man ha! That might be the state of your canoo, Dear One, yet it could not be further from the truth. You shine. Your glimmer. You thrum with an energy deeper than yourself. You heal. You reach, you seek to understand to grow to nurture. You are a blessing unto us all my …

Her name
is Serpentine, and no, I don’t really know her. She’s a woman now, having outlived much of this story when she was a child. Serpentine: gifted, smart, athletic, and a good human, with a badly curved spine. Serpentine with parents who simply said: “Not on our watch.” Serpentine who travelled to a foreign country “to…
