Soul Mosaic

As an unexpected gift, our son will be visiting for the week. So I am going to take a break to fully enjoy his company. Our visits are always lovely, but too short and too rare.

It is also a good moment for a short “respite” after the intensity of the post on Triggers and Flashbacks. So before I dive into the deep emotional turbulence of this darker “Nigredo” period, I will let this break recharge my energy.

In the meantime, I will do what I did last Thanksgiving and Christmas – leave inspirational “Gift Posts.”

I will be back here by Saturday, July 18, 2026, with fresh energy, and the next post – Emotions, Part I.

Thank you for your patience, and for walking with me on this journey.

“Unstoppable” – Donna Ashworth

Unstoppable they called her
but I saw her stop
I saw her stop many many times.

Sometimes
I thought she had stopped
for good

but no
she always found a way
to resurrect.

To rise again.

Not the same
never the same.

Each time a little more determined
and a little less vulnerable.

Unstoppable they said
but I think
it was in the stopping

that she found
her power.
