In The Shadow

 feeling depreciated, angry and drained from a night of hurtful words.

copious amounts of tea and a long walk has helped brighten my eyes,

 though still haunted by the shadows which lain behind. 

I'm reminded that I need more people in my life who nurture 

rather than enable.  

'There is a big difference between being helped 

and being treated as though we are helpless.'

'There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. 

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium 

and will be lost.' -M. Graham

Tomorrow, all will clear.
