- I Am Dealing With It -

My thoughts are like thunderclouds

         Thoughts that collide and give worthless words

         Only sound .... my mind wants peace

         Running from the storm - another shortcut

         Another way to handle it

A great piece Anne Lise as we continue to battle the mind to succumb to a point of peace. May peace be at your foundation's core. Take care.

Thunder is a beautiful thing. Certainly, not worthless. It's short, yet impacting to all. May you go up from here. :)

Life is about dealing with problems we either run from the storm or learn to deal with it. So many ups and downs in life almost like a roller coaster. Hope all is well my friend. Take care. love phyl
