Touch Therapy - 5

She needed an answer that was amathyst, an answer that peeled the Past and frolics the Future like a feather on your tender ear, She dove into her duality reckless and resolved undaunted by denuded doubts, found herself headlong in a hurricane of heartache, She also found wherewithal in the whirlwind, realized that honesty is the remedy for a puzzled personality, She awoke from the storm youthful, beautiful, in true form... J.A.B. 2023

This shimmered like a soul shedding its skin--"an answer that was amethyst" gave me chills. That line alone is worth framing in starlight. The storm imagery, the duality, and that fierce rise at the end? Powerful, poetic alchemy. She didn’t just survive the storm… she became it. Beautiful work, J.A.B.

Indeed Alesia, She became the storm's child, blossomed from the rain. Poetic alchemy is a powerful description, I like that. I'm happy to have the voice of my mind framed in starlight, that's beautiful...J.A.B.

An imprinting of self-discovery… there’s strength in this kind of honesty.. the storm becomes not only a struggle but a revelation… leading to the rebirth of the self, where one emerges more authentic, vibrant and dare I say… whole! Always, Laura

How often in your life have you chosen to metamorphisize, visa viz a spontaneous, uncontrollable need to Change? Is it shameful or a virtue to reinvent Oneself? Thank you for the eloquent analysis Laura. The weather of the mind. Does the mind's weather produce the personality or does the personality emote the weather?
