Accepting the glue

Walk on the water
Stop listening to voices that aren’t yours Voices that would make you doubt your purpose and power. Get the broom from the closet and sweep it all away. What remains is what belongs but if that feels too tight it’s okay to sweep again until the bones are healed and the foundation mended. Beyond words… Continue reading
