The Choice
I actually wrote this about 6 months ago. I knew what my choice was. It just took me too long to make the right one. Must there always be a choice Between sacred things and the safety and security this world offers? I know I’m being called to make a sacrifice, but I fear what…

I’m single again

I Am
I am the heartbeat within the storm. I am the prickle on your skin when you realize you are not alone. I am the shapeshifter, the skin of man and bear and wolf. I am the howl that brings the wild out of the civilized. I am the dancing flame, and the blackness beyond it.…
