Inspired by a prompt in one of the servers I visit on Discord…
What’s the Best Thing?

A lazy day sprawl on the bed while listening to the rain.
That first breath of crisp air after crossing the treeline on a hike.
Watching pine boughs sway while lying on a bed of moss in the shade.
The ball shriveling gut clench of diving into a glacier fed lake.
Pausing, face up to the sky, for Autumn’s first raindrops.
Racing headlong through the forest chasing laughter.
Miss Luna snugging in close to purr against my ear.
Burrowing my face in Gideon’s chest and just breathing him in.
Actually? Any time when with Gideon and we don’t feel desperate. (Comes from so much of the last year apart and a need to cling too tightly whenever there’s even a smidge of time together.)
Oh…. and towel hugs after a nice long soak in the bath.

Adoption Day

As we wander
down aisles
of colorful blooms
and seek out
those to take home
it is like visiting
a humane society
and seeing
all those
begging eyes
behind bars
aching
to be picked.
It’s so hard
to choose
just one.

The Promise

The last breath
of winter
skims over
barren earth
and in the distance
the promise
of spring
lifts its head
in the tiny buds
at the tips
of branches
and scent of rebirth
blown in
on a breeze

Spring Awakenings

My heart
is like tender shoots
slipping up
through damp soil
reaching
for the sun
that is you
and as I unfurl
vulnerable
and eager
your love
shines brightly
for all to see
and melts the snow

Tense Moments

I know that
it is because
you want
so desperately
to protect me
that you sometimes
scold me as you do
and I am not angry
Even when frustrated
I’m not angry
because it is one
of the many ways
you show me
your love

I… am dealing with a curve ball.

A mini-hiatus is necessary as a result.

There won’t be a catch-up this time. Instead, I’ll just start posting again once I am capable.

I hope you are all doing well, and I’ll be back to posting as soon as I can!

For my clients… readings are still open, but my turn-around time on them is slightly increased. If you can hold off until April, I’d appreciate it. If you can’t? That’s okay too, just know it’ll take me a little longer than the norm to get your readings sent to you. ❤️
