It stormed today
Looking out from the underground
the water came down like
a high-powered shower
People I know are
on a raft in the river
now
I am inside and cosy
I am going to make
lamb soup
I am a little worried
about the river people
…
For my last post
I described a PTSD episode
I went to all levels of distress and disgrace
I felt it was necessary
Everything is grey
Strength
is found in the most unexpected places
and
lacking in the most expected
I never know which it is
until it happens
I have been peaceful
for
a week or so now
I don’t know how long it will last
but
I have a plan for next time
Surrender
No fight
Can’t fight a hologram
Sit in the angst
Breathe through the two minutes of
fight-fright-flight
adrenaline
Disengage
The only danger
is the fear
Nothing else exists
anymore
