I miss you.

I am alone and it's deeper than before

Your touch. Your lips. Your energy. Your faith. Your mind. Your heart. You.

I am alone.

| Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. | Early this morning, I was compelled to physically represent the work I'm doing to free myself from a particular hurt. I gathered, my iPad + what was once on my vision board and headed to the kitchen for my "release party." If you know me, you know I try to have a memory of most things and this was no different. I hit record, lit a piece of Palo Santo, placed it in a pot, and began adding each item to the flame.  Total time - 9:28 I'd downloaded my video, starting the short editing process, when suddenly, my screen went dark and then....nothing.  mean nan-thang! No record of this "letting go." No record of my acceptance. Not a damn thing!!! I wouldn't have my "binky" of the moment?!  No monument to the symbols of "release"?!!? I wouldn't have something to show someone that I did the work!  And I realized... The ash IS the memorial. THIS dust rightfully the symbol that remains of the particular situation. There should be nothing to show, nothing for ego. The ash is now part of the foundation/brick/mortar on which my legacies are built. What I'm building is the monument, not what was burned or left behind. This ash, this dust is a miniscule part of the life I've been given. Moreover, as I build, there will be no shrine comparing what I've let go to who I am and who I'm becoming. So ashes to ashes and dust to dust. They say, The Almighty gives and takes away 🤷🏾 I pray we all have strength to build on our ashes, regardless 🙏🏾 #TysThoughts #TysEmpathLife #EyeOfTy #ComingFewBetterThanLast2  https://www.instagram.com/p/CCASU7SJuQI/?igshid=z03uw92pblvu
