A friend asked in a letter,
“How are you today?”
And I wanted to answer
the usual, “Doing well” or “I’m okay.”
But as I began to write
My fingers stopped after “I”
And all of a sudden I knew
I wasn’t going to lie.
So I poured out my heart in a letter.
By the time I got to the end
I realized I felt a bit better.
I asked myself, “Do I send?”
Nothing had changed, yet something had
I put a burden down for a time.
I started another letter.
“I loved your letter. I’m doing fine.”

I haven’t gotten any recent submissions from homeless creatives. That’s cool. I want this to grow organically in its own time.

Not long ago, I read on a blog-building site that daily posts are the best way to attract readers and I really want under1000skies.org to be available always.

So, starting in June I’m going back to M-F Gems and biweekly vids. I’m not sure about the prayers though. Perhaps weekly ones? Or maybe if anyone wants to submit them. I am still trying to figure it out.

So yeah, the Gems are back. Even a little light helps, right?. Besides, I still have my 10,000 “seeds” — uplifting graphics — lifetime goal to fulfill. I’m only on about 4k or so.

I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡
