Lights and Unimaginable Feats Caught in the middle Of life’s storms The freedom to Choose Divine Grace Yet I am Always with you Perfumers Many workers Going up into the Chambers Heart workers of Faith and Hope Jewels of Eternity Wearing the warm Glow of Love.

About the time I got comfortable Along comes these good ole boys Rearranging my “what I can do, what I should do and What I want to do” They want me to eat it like it’s good Instead, now I have to go knock the dust off My “oh hell no” boots The last couple…

I swore there would be No Magic nor prayers. No dancing beneath the wandering stars. No songs. No chants. No casting stones. Nor boiling spells. Nor burns. No smoke. No shadowed moves.

Read More“Love Exposed” by Jen curry
Taking photos. Exposing ghost. From another moment. Recalling memory of my most wonderful host… Musing and mingling with time. Who was the one without the pen? Only camera in hand.
