The World rotates on its axis...
As cities burn. I hold the strangeness of the world in my hand. My soul challenged by what should be, who I am, who I could be... Maybe should be.

I have my attention wanting to be scurried away with small worries. Each more living bears more weight on my existence.
The complexity of simple yearnings. Being simple is far from reach, currently. It is because of what I know of what makes a simple life, is merely a dream. Yet, I still seek the possibility of a simple life. It is that I know I cannot fix the world. I cannot change important minds. Because for some crazy reason there will always be hatred for what is good.

Good has many avenues. My younger teenaged daughter heard me say last night, "...some Russian needs to put a bullet in Putin's head." Yes, I said it. She replied, "Mom?! That's really bad." She, scolding my true nature.I do come from two warring parties from long ago. I responded, "Sorry, but at this point its the only way out of this. It's who I am."
What she and many others can't comprehend is where I've been, what I do know, and what lies deep in most souls.
There's a darkness. As good as you may want to be, there is an equally a dark side in that same soul we grapple with. I've been somehow coerced to search the darkness from a time I can remember. And yes, we need people like me who have that. Yet are disciplined enough to understand it, and only do the right thing with it. It's not so simple.----Jody-Lynn Reicher
