Me in staff meeting

death grows inside me I am exquisitely afraid ego is hanging on w/an earthly grip we are so enmeshed I can’t let go of the fear it’s like trying to breathe underwater thus begins the fight the search for surrender I remember once how good it felt to let go #vss365 #exquisite

Today's Poetry Thread: LETTING GO Feel free to add poems.

death this wasn’t the book she ordered even tho’ she was more spiritual than #intellectual, her mortal body was aquiver w/fear calm words rolled in on a quiet wave of wisdom ran thru her like warm comfort ”Do not be afraid. You are so much more than this.” #vss365 #FromOneLine

#discombobulated a word that looks like it feels it is I rickety & torn rich but poor unhealthy but full of love & fear & fear I used to embrace the Mystery but today it looks like a dark alley instead of light & I pray & I pray the only prayer worth saying help me #vss365

#Moonstruck wide-eyed innocence gathering stories of light & glee but too soon she stubbed her foot on the rock of reality she was ever after beat, broken, lost nowhere to go no one to go home to where does a cracked soul such as she lay down her head for sleep #vss365

holy man with holy words in exhile but born for the world holy laugh #vermilion robes bodhisattva for us all does that mean I don’t have to come back here please? #vss365

Rest in Peace, Sweet TG 🥲

Just WOW

Dance Is So Beautiful ❤️ She's 80 yrs old!! 🤗

I’ve strayed into an #alcoholic jumble of pain which one do I numb w/your elixir would Jell-O shots on my spine be a crime send that fire & fury of hot poker nerves onto their own ride thru hell let them go live there I think it’s only fair it’s time for my nirvana #vss365

All the years spent making this body home Now it’s the waiting room of death A #magnet for the reaper My prison My executioner My tomb Each step I take Forces death closer Joined at the hip It moves with me Through this greying sky Will it be brighter On the other side #vss365
