***************************************************
what do you think when you first open your eyes what is your first thought who is your first thought sometimes when I wake I am in my body and how it feels or how it doesn't feel like my own body much anymore in the past my first thoughts were of certain people my partner and our cats or family member who've died and the friends who've moved away sometimes the ones who got away or moved on how is it why is it as life gets longer people and places and so much of what and who we love disappear leave and sometimes things like fear--which is really an emotion set up house and become for some the new shape of life a sort of parasitic Cryptid I think that no one is meant to be alone I can be alone with my thoughts but sometimes its is better to speak them the best writers in the world the ones I've admired read their words aloud to test them for their magic their truth and their conviction there is great truth in fiction although its not required and how, there's great mourning in morning thoughts so when I see someone sitting too quietly alone [pretending at making friends with the silence and the distance I like to speak to them saying hello is a great opener-- let them know for that moment that they are known and more than worth good tidings these words our words can be our sacred interactions little words can have big impact and heal open up and mend-- so, mean what you intend since I've rethought this-- I am quieter now when I wake I think my morning thoughts then mostly stow them away or put them in a poem and am mostly gladness-filled for what I have and have still this the person who I am here is the person who is asleep beside me and look now, thee is the morning sky outside trying to bring a little more light to dispel the shadows within and so I begin again.
