How Men Are Taught to Process Emotion
And I don't know why I cried at the thought of saying goodbye to an old brown rug. But I did - so it sits now rolled up in the basement beside my unexplained feelings.

Prayer to Verrine for healing
Verrine, demon of healing, I ask you to heal myself and loved ones from any illness, distress, and depression that they may have. I ask you to reach out your hand and touch them and take away their suffering. I ask you to heal them from all worries and issues that arise in the future. Please hold them close and stay by their sides. Please show them love and kindness by taking away any fears, distress and illness they have now and in the future.

Never Photograph the Eclipse of Someone’s Heart
Never Photograph the Eclipse of Someone’s Heart Never photograph the eclipse of someone’s heart, For you may capture shadows tearing them apart, The camera sees the darkness crossing the light, But never knows what someone carries through the night.
