“Family” is often seen as a romantic ideal, but it takes hard work to make the romance a reality. Despite our limitations, our love for each other, and the circumstances life throws at each person separately in the family, we can still make a family work when we put in the effort.

Folks. We’re living on borrowed time.

Put in the effort.

It’s amazing what people find to complain about.

This was taken when I really felt like an artist. 2017. Colette Copeland was my Foundations of Art teacher. Inspired channeling Eliot Porter’s photo-nature gene all day and at night.

After head trauma happened I courted vitamin deficiencies, withdrew from life & isolated to my lair.

Cut off all my hair. Twice.

-Discovering a layer within I hadn’t realized existed. No, not just anxiety, depression & fear, but peace and quiet.

I call it Stage 4 peace and quiet. The kind you can get so much of -it could hasten your demise.

But you won’t let-it. The kind you seek respite from. Even as you change before your very eyes. Physically. Emotionally.

You become more wise in that lair. Your unorganized religion isn’t important anymore.

Things start to hurt there too.

You are grounded and content. No doubts.

But you need out -of doors. It’s winter.

Being so close to the process of aging of your own self for so long should be rewarded. Right!?

Now I understand one particular scripture I have always adored yet innately faithfully known. Really known. But a bizarre “word” that requires individual interpretation, in my opinion. Genesis 3:1.

“And then God, remembered Noah.”

WAITWHUT? God forgot Noah?

No child.

POV: Riding out the storm in a comfort zone. Safe and certain from all alarm.

But we know storms. We know war. We know drama. We know hate. We know disease and we know pain. We know death.

We know so much pain and trauma *we* forget the calm and wait for THE first responder. ALL first responders have a protocol though.

Think about it.

How to get found and rescued?

Stay afloat. Survive long enough. You have your want to live.

Mindset? Willpower. Hold on. Do something. Help the process.

Help others. Forget about yourself.

I’ll bet.. if I started going outside again. Today. In the cold. Even in the dark. In the rain. In the heat… welp lemme think about that heat one lol. Consistently. In nature where I can find it - my backyard… I wonder what will happen?

God will remember I’m here.

Does that make sense?
