My pain bears no name.
No rhyme.
No formal timeline of existence.
It just simply wades
at the center of my heart.
My inner temple scorches with such warmth
that derives from such eeriness and uncertainty.
This pain bears no name
yet it runs deep.
I have become disillusioned to the people on the street
who walk as if they are truly in such a state of deep sleep, all in a mother fucking sea of zombies
suited up in such materials as Polo and Abercrombie,
as well as everything else literally in between.
It's just business as usual.
yet nevertheless society has never minded me!
I have been that of a phantom, who passionately persists to remind one of such a haunting past.
As I indeed lurk deep into the grime that is the urban jungle.
I CARRY SUCH PAIN.
SUCH HURT.
AND SUCH DESPAIR.
That for now sits
Patiently.
Waiting to see if I would ever truly dare.
to openly express how much no one never really cared.
This pain seemingly knew no end
as the walls that are
my
MIND
begin to gradually
cave in.

Ash Roses
Fires of old rage into the horizon; the old has finally died. An era has finally ended. The streets smell of smoke and blood; it's what perhaps has blinded us so harshly; the smoke that lay carefully hidden for some time, finally chose to reveal itself as the thick smog in which it were.

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.
