This was supposed to be over
And every time I say that,
I’m wrong
Do I belong among
the mystics and dreamers;
The believers who do,
despite what is true?
This goes out to the ones who
have waited well
Who have walked through hell
Who in tension dwell
Those who lumber below the weight
of burdens that were never supposed to
be theirs
Those to whose sorrow,
none can compare
I stand and stare
Boring holes into the blackest night
One of them must give way to the light
About the Creator

I embarked to my favorite coastline several years ago in search of feeling in a dark season and accdientally wrote a poem. I have written ever since.
Poetry is what my friends know me for, but words burn in my bones.
Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.
