  • Horses and Sunshine

    I began to write poems when I was a child. Late at night, in bed, alone with my pen.

    My mother and her partner would drunkenly fight and I would write about horses and sunshine.

    Some days it’s hard to even breathe, to close your eyes, relax your heart, and take a deep breathe.

  • Today tomorrow

    Willow

    Today I hope you’ll listen to the voice inviting you to go outside. Out to see what’s happening in the world.

    A world that is kind, where smiles live, and where people care about little things. Because it’s those little things that will coax you back out tomorrow. -Mandy Ricks
