The Mirror of Self-Reflection'
As I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but stare at the stranger staring back at me. The eyes, the nose, the lips – everything was familiar, yet somehow, it didn't feel like me. It was as if I was gazing at a mask, a disguise that I had been wearing for so long that I had forgotten what lay beneath.

Only By Chance
I'd managed to get a decent rest and wake slowly, my eyes adjusting to the later morning light and my mind free of overbearing, scattered thinking swirling around in my skull as it certainly does at times. Last night I tossed and I turned for quite some time before smoking a joint made up of scrapes of tobacco from the fireplace shelf and stems of weed snapped and broken up into a smokable product. I chewed another half a pill along with it, enough to cause a temporary numbing effect, and after finishing the remainder of wine I managed to doze into a restful slumber. I stirred a morning coffee from the jar I'd been given by the help service that offers food and toiletries and bus tickets, those sorts of things for people in need. There was no kettle in my room and no kitchen for us to use, so I made a lukewarm coffee with hot water from the bathroom tap. Returning to my room from the wet street outside where I'd smoked two cigarettes I fell into a state of unwanting. My consciousness told me I had to play guitar and I ignored it for a moment. It told me I needed to write down a line that I'd just thought of and I ignored that too. I decided I needed to do nothing at all except simply watch the drizzling of rain fall from the clouded view of the sunlight-struck windows in my upstairs room. To pause and observe the supposed necessities that my brain conjured up, when all that was needed was to be, brought peace. It was becoming quite obviously easier to sit with myself and allow myself to be present, right here in the heart of life where nothing peculiar or spectacular occurred. Many days in the past week since I'd arrived I had enjoyed people watching in the way my Mother had taught me. This, and watching the birds and feeling the sun and thinking of the clouds and reading a book and tasting the wine, all things I could do, to be. I am here.

Lie to Me. Issue #8
When meeting Luna we were both just wanderers making our way across the plain. Luna was caught up with some outlaws that had a mental grasp over her. I was self-assured for the first time in my life and confident in my own ability to solve a problem correctly based on fairness and compromise. When we crossed paths her gaze entrapped me with breathtaking beauty, her smile so bright I almost mistook it for the sun shining through the rainy day. Her aura was kind, warm, and welcoming.
