Into The Mystic

I hope that you find peace.

"That Was Nice"

Three little words from my father gives me such peace of mind.

Lingering Echos Of The Little Mermaid, I'm Sure

I often have dreams where I am sitting at the bottom of the sea, looking up toward the sunlight, through leagues and leagues of water, completely at peace.

I Wish I Had A River I Could Skate Away On

You cannot create peace with someone who only desires war.

Wash Away

Standing in the warm summer rain with my best friend makes me happy and allows me to forget about everything else for awhile.

I'm Boring, Sorry

A quiet evening at home is (sometimes/often/occasionally) exactly what the (doctor/nurse practitioner/witch doctor) ordered.

Casper Is A Strange Name For A Tabby (Pumpkin Spice!) Cat

On the eve of my Duke appointment, I met a most wonderful kitty cat while sitting on the front steps of a house that I wish was mine while enjoying a season that does not seem to occur in my own town.

No Destination Required

I've discovered great happiness riding in my car with my pups: wind blowing, music playing, tails and tongues wagging, joy overflowing.

The Small Print Will Get You Every Time

I make the best effort that I am able when it comes to spiders on the walls of my shower, but when I look up and the spider in question has moved in my direction and/or disappeared, all treaties are henceforth null and void.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Watching the embers of a slowly dying fire twinkle like the lights on a Christmas tree from an idealized childhood allows me to drift off in peace.

And A Piece Slides Into Place

Tonight, while putting books on the shelf by candle and lamplight, attended by my dogs (who were seeking my company due to the approaching storm), is the first time I've truly felt this as 'my room'.

My Secret Garden

I'm going to grow beautiful plants and make a peaceful garden filled with life and stone walkways and ivy covered arches and no one can stop me!

Only Love Can Live In My Dream

Sleep is my refuge.

Time Slips Away From You

I've always loved the front porch on the house in which I grew up: wrought iron railings, plenty of room for potted plants and dogs and cats and wishing upon stars before bed.

Life Imitates Life

After seeing a little red fox last night, I realized that it had no fear of us, and for the first time in ages, I felt like all the bad things that are constantly happening may eventually even themselves out.

Springing Eternal

I'm still trying to figure out just how you can look at me the same way, after all of this time.

Sugar Loaf

My skin smells the way that a child's does after s/he comes inside from playing on a spring day.

Happiness Is Not A Fish You Can Catch

I've come to the realization that happiness is something that occurs, overwhelmingly, in tiny moments and should be held onto with all of one's might because that is the best, nay, only way to make it through the intermediate times.

We Are Evil And Divine

I need not venture outside of my mind for these things, for why would I wish to leave the livid, fanciful colors and architecture that I have created?

Asleep

Happiness is looking around your living room and realizing that everyone is sleeping peacefully in your presence.
