Disclosure

On By Piano girl

Yesterday
My steps
Were heavy
Even the ones
Taking me
Where
I wanted
To go
Precious feet
Walked beside
In the sunlight
Of a clear
Fall day
Splashes
Of color
Painting
Our paths
Until the light
Slipped away
And heaviness
Completely
Draped
Demanding
To be named
Before sleep
Could come-
Now morning,
Fragments
Remain-
But I smile
At the beautiful
Pink sunrise

I have not written about depression lately. But honesty is my goal. And sometimes, admitting how I feel is the first step to feeling better. I love the fall colors and cooler temps. But when sunsets come earlier and cloudy days are multiplied, struggle sets in.

I am thankful for friends and family who understand and remind me it is ok.

The photo was actually taken a year ago. Matched today perfectly.

  1. The experience of living in a world that doesn’t see or honor the heart (and the feelings therein) is a very challenging experience for creatives. For we live in and from our hearts. Sending blessings to you as we enter this season of rest, reflection and preparation.

    Hello Kelley—I wanted to be sure that at some time I told you about full-spectrum light therapy during the short dark days. If I did not and you want information, let me know and I can send you some scientific references. Connie Lane

  4. Beautifully expressed – thank you. Wishing you (all of us) patience and perspective that this is NORMAL – not everyone’s, but our normal, coming and going. I’m not sure I’d want to eliminate these phases – though they do perplex others at times.
