She Is Me

I never intended to write this — which is exactly why I’m publishing it

I’ve known veterans of many wars.

One in particular inspired this sentence as I watched them struggle deeply with flashbacks & suppressed grief:

Love, it's okay 
we don't have to live this way 
Love, it's okay 
I see God in you every day.... 

The first lyrics of this song, Grieve My Love, came forth a few days after the passing of my cousin in 2024.

The finishing lyrics came months later when witnessing the same grief I felt (and suppressed) mirrored almost identically in another.

This is why relationships are considered the highest form of yoga.

They are mirrors.

Discord arises when we mistake them as windows.

May we all honor to the best of our abilities, this tight-rope walk between realms. We’ve certainly made a spectacle of things here.

Have you ever had someone who said “I love you” later be the one to lunge for your own gun in a scuffle, or tell you they’re going to kill you?

Yeah — Vibe change.

We’re transitioning slowly from water (Grieve My Love) to fire (Lucky Strikes).
