I am here doing the half marathon for the first time. I am an Empathic Spiritual Healer who's been writing a very long time. I am married with one daughter and two dogs! I recently retired from a full career in Social Work to pursue my passion.

Hour Twelve – Chipped Cup

My cup overflows.

A small chip channels the flow,

Sweetening the tea.

Petals on the wind

fill my nose with scented clouds.

My soul, infinite.

The lightening bug glows

Brightest against the darkness.

Wise lightening bug. Wise.

thoughtful transformation to
