deep into soul work.

 ********

i have been gently chided for being much too quiet lately.

all i can offer is this: 
i am deep into soul work. 

after spending the day in quietude, putting pencil to paper, 
delving and writing, 
i felt i deserved a reward for my hard work. 
you know, like when in childhood, you stayed home for a bit
whilst your mother went to the store, 
and when she returned, you asked 
"what did you bring me??"

after hours of inner work, i sat down at the studio table, 
and strung together a gift:
i brought home this little bit of beads and pearls and silver for my soul.
