The cicadas have returned. Is it music we hear or an attack from alien forces? Believe it or not cicadas are good for the planet. If we would take the time to learn more about those pesky creations we'd locate newer levels of inner peace.

When it's ok to not be our best. We ache, we break, we slow down and say weird stuff at the wrong time. It's part of being who we are and where we are! I don't want to miss out on the several stages of a real life. Sadly I can't pick up my daily writing of 30 years and help the struggling artist.
