fire ants

 Some thoughts

In the five stages of grief. Don’t know how long this lasts. Those who don’t have empathy have lost me. I’m trying not to judge, it’s hard. I can’t watch news or the latest gossip. It just makes me mad. Don’t know what is says about me. In the past week, I’ve had the chance to see my unsavory ways. If I post something light, it’s not that I don’t care. I just need to dream again. I need to believe in goodness again. I’m not able to write without crying. My tears are watering the Earth right now. 

God

A blubbering mess

Who still

Dreams

Of walking

The rues

And carrying

The wares

Of Coco

Are in 

Stark contrast

To fire ants

Green grass

And southern drawls

  1. We all grieve differently and for different situations, people and pets. There is no rule book . Remember the God is in charge and we may never know the why?? that we ask so often.

  2. Praying for you and those affected by this tragedy. I'm angry over the current "un-administrations" response and that's all I will say about that.

  6. Regine, I can assure you that anyone who has the courage to acknowledge reality right now is struggling to stay sane and keep their head above water. Do what you must to keep yourself going and know that you're not alone my friend. My way of coping has been to stay offline because I just can't with all the mass delusion and lack of kindness. Sending you <3

  7. As individuals we handle situations differently but we also care about others and how they are doing. Hugs from Ireland.

  8. Grief has its own schedule and agenda. I cannot watch the news either.

  9. It's hard to go to someone's happy place when yours is a mess, and you've been through a lot. I totally understand your feelings. I know you care, you just need support, understanding, and love yourself right now. And it's here. : )

  10. This reminds me of how it feels when someone you loves dies and the world just goes on. I'm sorry you are dealing with this.

  14. Life isn't easy at times and there is a dear God who is our Father in heaven, who cares for us in no matter what we are going through. Here is a scripture verse from Bible study this morning.
    "Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty, this I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety, He is my God, and I trust him." Psalm 91:1-2
    Blessings and prayers to you Regine!

  15. Compassion, empathy, love, that's who you are and I'm with you. At times my eyes just won't stop tearing up at the pain in the world.
