You don’t have a soul.
You are a soul.
You have a body.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I love this quote because it reminds me that I am not my body. I am so much more than this outer shell that I inhabit. All of us are so much more, but sometimes the physical and what we see on the outside is who we believe we are. We worry so much about our appearance instead of cultivating all of the many gifts that we hold within. Our souls are what will continue to give, long after we are gone, if we allow all of the love that is inside to pour out, and onto those around us. I’m beginning to realize that when I take care of my body, it is a way of telling those close to me how much I love them. I’m learning that I cannot love anyone fully until I can love myself. It has taken me so much time to see this, and I need constant reminders.

Sanctuary


All that I’m left with is homesickness…

the dull, throbbing ache that always sits in my chest

I use the word “homesick,” as if you were my sanctuary,

the piece of myself that I hold close

like a poem recited by heart.
   

Here I am now

Lost inside the whisper of a dream

Past, present, future

unknown, found, lost

unfinished…

When You Are Away

Your talk of horses comforts me

I imagine you riding along trails

The rythmic beating of hooves

kicking dust into the wind

Your mind wandering

far away

Inside my head

I’m curled up on your sofa

cocooned within your four walls

The daylight fades

It always feels like winter

Maybe I will tell you

I dream of death

and my snow covered grave

I will try to hide the fact

that for a moment

I want to smile

You hold the reigns

speaking gently

I can hear your voice

from a distance

I feel the joyful pulsing

of your heart

as you ride away

You Don’t Know

You don’t know it,

but I greet you everyday

Wherever you are

is where I reside

I try to slip

between your thoughts

a whisper, a soft inhalation

as you wake and rise

Each breath you take

is also mine

Quote reblogged from It's simple like a mountain is simple. with 744 notes

Others imply that they know what it is like to be depressed because they have gone through a divorce, lost a job, or broken up with someone. But these experiences carry with them feelings. Depression, instead, is flat, hollow, and unendurable. It is also tiresome. People cannot abide being around you when you are depressed. They might think that they ought to, and they might even try, but you know and they know that you are tedious beyond belief: you are irritable and paranoid and humorless and lifeless and critical and demanding and no reassurance is ever enough. You’re frightened, and you’re frightening, and you’re “not at all like yourself but will be soon,” but you know you won’t.

I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds– but I think of you always in those intervals.
