Over time, anger was built into our sisterhood. We were linked as Cain and Abel, Jesus and Judas, Othello and Lago, Prospero and Caliban. Real hurts, imagined hurts, and new hurts were heaped on top of past hurts. The escalating spiral had no way of stopping. Mother had no understanding of our innate competitiveness toward each other.

Frozen magic Darkness dominates Attacks, walls crumbling The magic shield, as a protective bumper Fear and curse, do not involve the dead Crystallized mana A rabbit foot in the pocket, give false security The fog of illusion Each fiber in the body seeks salvation Water can be converted into wine Beauty can be difficult to find 31.01.2018 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Some fear darkness...others find security in it. It's all in the mind, and we hold the key to that mind! Hugs // paul

Darkness is the light's best friends. At times I get badly depressed. But (and speaking now from a position of health, I would not want to miss all those dark days and nights. I do not drink wine, but in the metaphoric sense I believe, that if one can walk upon water, the droughts are manageable. Lots of wishes, Kai
