February 26, 2023: Another mysterious left-handed mandala / Reruns: January 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 2007 ("The heart forgives when it accepts and acknowledges conflict without blame.")

These mandalas are on white Bristol board, but the white background on Blogger is a much brighter white.  Maybe they will look more white when I get them professionally scanned.

“After the Fire” 

You ever think you could cry so hard

that there’d be nothing left in you, like

how the wind shakes a tree in a storm

until every part of it is run through with

wind? I live in the low parts now, most

days a little hazy with fever and waiting

for the water to stop shivering out of the

body. Funny thing about grief, its hold

is so bright and determined like a flame,

like something almost worth living for.
