Nature’s Prayers
And again…
Still yourself
and fold your hands
humbly
stand in awe
radiate His light
with eyes upwards
towards

and comtemplate

And the sparkling stars
Whose dust makes up

While inside heartbeats
Tick away our lives
To the beat of a flashing firefly
Or a flickering star.

doing charity every day
more than I can say

Before the breakdown, I didn’t know that I was depressed. Before the breakdown, I didn’t know that my failed relationships were due to my fear of closeness. Before the breakdown, I didn’t know I was Bipolar. I learned a lot of things in therapy that helped to change the direction of my life.
And then one day Thomas walked into the library where I had been working for 10 years. He got a job as a library assistant. He was a graduate student and wanted to work part-time. I took the first steps towards asking him out because it was obvious he never would. I had learned a thing or two after a stint…
