I’m just not up to snuff tonight, so here’s something abstract and random.

I had a headache this afternoon because I quit sugar again.

I’m not good about staying off of it.

My tolerance keeps building up and then I have to quit again.

 

Trickling stream

Sourced from the abundance

I hear crystal sounds

I hear the water spray

I hear the rocks

Solid

They go deep, deep

I hear the earth

It is the source of all magic

I hear myself

I hear you

I hear the plants, the animals

I feel the connection

We are all

One great big

Interconnected

Biological unit.

This earth

Sustains itself

Even the air is part of us

 

The earth is a great big chocolate truffle

With a moist outside

Several crispy layers of rock and earth

And on the inside

A warm, spicy, molten core.

I just quit sugar today

Unfortunately I can’t partake

I’ll not be a part of the planet today thank you very much

I’ll just sit on the sidelines and watch.

But before you know it

I’ll build up a tolerance

And find myself eating it again

I just love

That earthy flavor
