His Arms
Comfort Of Two
Few people
Think to ask
Think to look
Beyond
Beyond the tattoos
The muscles
The scars
To see the comfort that lies between
His arms.
He holds me close
I sometimes ask
He sometimes knows
But I know
I know the need
The magnetic pull
To burrow into the heat
The strength
The tangle of stories marked on his skin
To find my comfort
To find home in his arms.
My heart beats against him
His beats back
Battling rhythms
They do not beat as one
They beat as two
Two wholes
Two uniques
Two independents
Two ones who choose too two.
Two who agree
Day in
Day out
To find the comfort
The challenge
The laughter
The joy
The peace
In the twin circles of
Our arms.
With Love,
Regina Grimm

Snow White: Darker than You Remember
I love fairytales. I adore the pageantry, the excess, the clear divisions between right and wrong, good and evil, but when I look a little deeper, these stories that raised us have shifted through the centuries. What I once thought of as a sweet story for children began its journey as a cautionary tale full of violence, infanticide, cannibalism, poison, magic and death. Let's unpack this week's edition as we compare and contrast the musical, animated Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarves with the Grimm Brother's tale that inspired it.
