Today, I planted my feet in the soil, asked God to use my tears to water them, and something new sprouted right in front of my eyes.
Looking down at the wet earth, I saw sunflowers growing calmly, looking up toward the Sun for nourishment – looking up toward me.
I gave them a wink, thanked them for tickling my chin, for holding it up back toward my creator after it dropped from the heaviness of heartbreak.
I thank them for looking toward me, reminding me I am the Sun, reminding me I am bright and beautiful. That I can nourish, and I can destroy.
That equilibrium has made a home in my belly, so the next time I feel so tilted toward the wrong pole, toward the end of the tree trunk pointed away from the creator, I can bring myself back to Center.

When Morning Comes
Let’s forget this matrix, pretend we’re just seniors in the countryside cooking up old recipes as apologies in our kitchen, telling our past, I’m so sorry I wasted so many years. But here I am now - wise, sweater pulled up to my chin, warm, welcoming, waiting.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
