what to do when you are overthinking.



the only oneness that worth experience
as you and the universe are in a union
a grander holiness


truth is revealed - an awakening
people come and go
sometimes means forever
forever leave, forever stay


and you know, there will be that particular void
that will never be filled anymore
a void that will always empty
a presence that is irreplaceable


let go of trying, darling
let go of searching


because what you will find next
will never fit the prototype
feel that void
do not fill it - feel it

In the silence under the bright sun
We left with her father’s name
She was a daughter of Jacob
A nameless daughter

every morning on the first day of the fresh new month, i would chant this mantra.
"i only want happiness. pour it over me, for this month."

that was my hope. that little hope kept me going from one month to another. because imagining how i would pass this year is like attracting nightmares and bad dreams for me. so, i took just the baby step. little and firm.
