Ink Stained Soul…

He noticed I have been staying home.
I wasn’t closing in on purpose.
Retreated is a soothing phase for myself.
A time to rest, go within on my feelings  sometimes to hide, most times to recharge.
It’s been days before I finally showered.
Simple cleansing baths was all I was doing.
Writing, drawing, listening to music, wine, reading, meditating.
Lighting candles cleansing my space literally and figuratively.
Watching birds, cats, and squirrels play from my window.
Listening to The Tortured Poets Department for what has to be the millionth time.
Allowing my emotions and creativity to flow through me.
Finding beauty in my face and body.
Seeing myself as art work.
Embracing myself and my unique qualities fully with love.
What may look like avoidance is really spending time loving and healing.
