The Recovery
I can see the light
at the end of the tunnel
fuzzy
and indistinct
as energy returns
in fragmented pieces
a little
at a time
to be frittered away
too quickly
and sleep is needed
once more
to recharge
and try again

Gideon’s Challenge
Green Dreams
I want to be
where the
wild things are
and trees stand tall
against the sky
and there are
no streets
only rivers that flow
and the wind whispers
through leaves
with a sigh
with forest floor
spongy with moss
under bare feet
and bare back
while the sweet scent
of cedar
fills the senses
while I take
a short little nap

Transitions
October
kisses the skin
with cool breath
and sweet drops
of cold rain
interspersed
with beautiful
skyscapes
of clouds
interspersed
with peeking
hints
of blue
from summer’s end

Gideon’s Challenge
Eclecticism
Halloween decor
has become
a thing
in my home
where they find
a spot to sit
and never again
do they roam
from meditative
skeleton
to a raven
on a perch
they linger past
october
to stay
throughout the year

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios
Prompt “The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.”
Scenario 1 – James is wondering how to improve himself after realizing he dates people who fall under the archetype of being narcissistic.
Work on how you view yourself by taking time to better examine and appreciate all you have accomplished and all that you have to be grateful for. Only when you are willing to change how you see yourself and your place in the world will you then be able to break the cycle of picking those too self centered to be committed to you and your needs.
Scenario 2 – There’s a job fair coming up, and Daniel has no idea what to do. He is torn between wanting to go for his dreams and needing to pay the bills.
A change from what you’ve been doing so far in life is needed. Seek the path that will give you a sense of accomplishment and sate you emotionally. You can over time find greater success and sense of accomplishment through changing your path, rather than staying on the one you’re currently on.
Scenario 3 – A general reading (feel free to add your own flair or a backstory).
Only through changing and growing away from what has already been done can you find a path to feeling accomplished and emotionally sated moving forward.

Miss Luna
Attentive and sweet
she’s waiting for me
with ears perked
and listening
for the key to slide
into the lock
and turn
to announce
my arrival
and send her running
to say hello
and rush eagerly
to greet me
at the end of the rug
by my front door
