Some days, too much is not enough. Other days, just enough is too much. What I used to do just to get my fix. Remembering that person who I used to be. That temporary reprieve. Lasting for what feels like only heartbeats. That temporary reprieve from physical, emotional ache. The bridges I’ve burned. The pain...

Hear God’s shout across the skies, Calling your name - no more surprise. Come Forth! He says, with a rocking voice, Foundations stir, they know His holy voice, Let the miraculous realm arise, A flood of wonder before your eyes.

Not Anne, But Gabrielle by Gabrielle Munslow If you want me to take you to another time, take my hand. Don’t furrow your brow. Slick with storylines, my tongue twists like an adder.

Went searching for good enough and discovered it can only come from within myself So I went back to the future in a DeLorean to try to pinpoint when things began to veer off track so I could alter time to put them back It took a few trips after realizing I couldn’t quickly flip the script Started...
