unitarian space

For compassionate,
and most certainly nonviolent,
communication.

ToGathering

transparently reconnecting intention
to continue cooperatively co-investing
with this sometimes comedic co-inventing
therapeutic review

Intricate it was, and the fabric was sleek
My sewing machine skipped ‘tween each stitch, I confess

I want to stay alive
I want to enjoy my only life
But there...

In my little chair

The sound of heavy breathing
I pressed my right eye against the peephole
Nobody was there
A cold feeling ran deep through my sole
As I pressed my eye against the hole
