The suck of depression threatens to pull me down into the madswirl of darkness' drain. It wants me, know it does. Thank God for those swimming lessons!! Head above water. B r e a t h e. Don't forget to paddle.

As Dory says in "Finding Nemo": "Just keep swimmin', swimmin', swimmin'..." :) It is during these dark cesspools of life that we have to learn to rely on God, give Him our cares, let Him handle it, because you KNOW He can--and WILL. Good write, Karla; brava!

Yep . . . without that paddle you in deep do-do . . . Gotta love it . . .
nice, succinct and too true -the power of breath is underrated, especially if fortunate enough to live in cleanish air - why we dont teach meditation breath in schools is beyond my small brain - beats drugs any day or night, perhaps that's why.... Good poem Karla - nicky xx

The Wholly Book
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
