~
written confessions
burned or buried in the sand –
you are my witness.
~
shame cannot survive being
spoken in this space.
~
a quiet intervention
within the circle;
a therapy for family –
can all sins be forgiven?
~

a moral compass,
bent to the will of power;
broken on purpose.

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Don’t Seek Out Strife

We can agree that peace is better than war
So the choice to struggle – what is it for?
Out of control, we’re afraid to sit still
When the reasoned choice would be to stop and chill
