No words spoken everything is known
She stands behind me so I’m not alone
Tenderly braiding my long blonde hair
With every tug I hear a silent prayer
Silence is poetic when nothing makes sense
No facades conveyed no false pretense
Her strength is my foundation with nothing to compare
Whispering her hymns with every twist and turn of my hair.

Mother comforting daughter? Best friend? Grandma? Just a female loved one? The mental image that I am given here is one of sadness and strength.

I was kidding again.. I keep want to be calling you John.. But that would be a lie.
Here’s the deal… Make up a name and tell
Me its your real name but don’t tell me the real one. That way I will
Feel were being sincere. Make a name and tell me it’s your name. Also… We’ve always been friends.

I can relate to that very well at the moment. Life is full of twists and turns. And mostly after a twist comes a healing turn…. Beautiful song to go with, Carisa.

Erica, I’m so sorry life has been a struggle for you. It’s sad when people don’t know how to lean with the twists and turns. Usually the harder we try to stay close… The worse it is. When the sun finally shines we count our blessings because we are the ones that are blessed. I hope 2016 is an amazing year for you. 💞💕❤️

When I learned something in my life then that every twist is the link to a new way opening up for us. Of course it is not fun when in the midst of it and getting used to new situations or to accept that we have to change something in order to stay true to ourselves (which is a discovery of its own). But with the knowing that what comes after is even better because it is an adjustment to our own growth. A butterfly has to get rid of the cocoon too.. All is well…. 💖

I am not a hero.. My son and wife are the heroes. He ended with… I have the easy job… They are my heroes.
