Not as We Song by Alanis Morissette

Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain
Unsure, unconvincing
This faint and shaky hour

Day one, day one, start over again
Step one, step one, I’m barely making sense, for now
I'm faking it 'til I'm pseudo making it
from scratch. Begin again, but this time I as I? And not as We?

Gun shy and quivering
Timid, without a hand
Feign brave with steel intent
Little and hardly here

Day one, day one, start over again
Step one, step one, with not much making sense, Just yet
I'm faking it 'til I'm pseudo making it
from scratch. Begin again, but this time I as I? And not as We?

Eyes wet, toward
Wide open, frayed
If God's taking bets
I pray He wants to lose

Day one, day one, start over again
Step one, step one, I’m barely making sense, Just yet
I'm faking it 'til I'm pseudo making it
from scratch. Begin again, but this time I as I? And not as We?

Hope you always know your worth
Though I know that life can hurt
Hope you know that you can turn to each other
Hope you learn to trust your voice
Make mistakes and make some noise
Hope you never lose your joy or your hunger

Sometimes life can feel unfair
Broken hearts you can't repair
Sometimes you might be scared that no one gets you
It's not easy being brave when tears are falling down your face
But that's how you'll find your strength, so I'll let you

Someday friends might turn their backs
Falling leaves might hide your path
You'll try hard, might come in last
Yeah, but just around the corner
You'll move mountains, you'll make waves
You'll be fearless, you'll be brave
There'll be nothing you can't face

Hope you always know your worth
Though I know that life can hurt
Hope you know that you can turn to each other
Hope the road ahead is clear

(From Rachel Platten’s “Girls”) 🎶🎵🎧

Photos I take when I can’t go anywhere but inside my house

But the weather is a little cooler in my hot, very humid part of the world. And I can feel the temperature relief inside my house tonight, so that is nice.

I don’t have a lot of words these days, at least not readily available. Sometimes I can find the words but, mostly, they’re inaccessible.

I think it’s just because life is constantly overwhelming for me right now. I can still function and get the most important stuff done, but it takes everything I’ve got. Reading, hearing and interpreting words is more difficult too, unless they’re within music. Somehow the music helps.

Images still easily speak to and for me though. I know what they are saying, but not with words. It’s more like knowing by just knowing….a feeling, sense or understanding that doesn’t need or require words.

My daughter informed me that she hadn’t finished the drawing when I took the first picture (now I see the parts she hadn’t finished coloring.) And that now the drawing is done and I can take a picture. 💚
