afterwards.

sometimes it's just a bad day.
yesterday = sometimes.

afterwards || she

but i finally escaped from the confines of employed life and into the magnficently chilly autumn air. i can't tell you how refreshing it was to take in the cool atmosphere. i felt new, with a hint of death. that's not supposed to be morbid . . . i guess you could say i felt reborn, like a phoenix. my new tongue shivered with a taste of ash. and this is photographic proof.

do you ever feel like that? like you've just narrowly escaped the steel jaws of death? like your skin is prickling from having been saved at the very last minute? have you ever wondered what it is about you that was worth saving?

sometimes i think we don't need to know just what it is about us that warrants redemption. it's enough to know that we were worth it. that we are worth it. it's enough to know there's a Love that never fails, that will pursue and rescue us no matter what the cost. no matter if we understand why.

thank you for being here with me.

Amen sister.

And I see that pink, there, beneath your throat.

Clarity comes in the most peculiar moments. Glad for you. Keep your chin up, and keep taking in what nature wants to offer. Isn't it the best medicine? xx
