“Instead I prayed, oh Lord, let me be something useful and unpretentious.
Even the chimney swift sings.
Even the cobblestones have a task to do, and do it well. Lord, let me be a flower, even a tare; or a sparrow.
Or the smallest bright stone in a ring worn by someone brave and kind, whose name I will never know.”
— Mary Oliver, “More Beautiful than the Honey Locust Tree Are the Words of the Lord,” from Thirst
“I find it funny, you know,” Lance says, humming amused when Red meows in discontent from his hands when he’s taken away from the top of his mountain.
“He usually just naps all day but as soon as you are near, he turns into a spitfire.” “Is that a good thing?” Keith asks confused, arching an eyebrow.
Lance laughs as he nods. “Yeah, man; it’s a good thing. It means he misses you,” he says fondly, stroking Red’s head before he locks eyes with Keith. “I think he just wants to go home with you.”
“Oh.” Keith blinks surprised before he leans down to catch Red’s eyes, as if looking for a confirmation. Red blinks back at him blankly before patting his nose with his paw as an answer.
Keith’s lips twitch. “Let’s go home, then.”

hardest thing to learn during recovery is….. some of your misery is your own fault. you have to actively choose to stop wallowing in your own pain & start to recover. that means stop being self deprecating, start taking care of yourself, start eating healthy, start taking your hygiene seriously, even if it’s hard. & it is hard! but you must.
