Meditations: Letter to the Wounded Inner Child
You, shadow-flicker, curled tight in the hollow of yesterday’s bones, I hear your cries echo like wind, bruised by the corners of memory. Small fists, clenched, white as teeth, holding secrets like brittle shells, every whisper cut from glass— you, a ghost I’ve never let die.

The Measure of Wholeness
We inhabit a world in which pain often meets, and begets, pain.
