I love the layers in this one and how you really put me into how you personally are feeling. Thank you so much for sharing!! how fun <3
Thank you so much for this Dommy!! Its always such a pleasure to read your words XX a couple of mine below.

How do you turn power and greed, into healing and love
How do you convince people to trade their obsession for the screen to spending their time gazing above
How do you teach adults that play is important
How do you change the system so it truely nurtures our sons and daughters
How do you shift perspectives when it comes to our future
How do you create equality and balance in a world built upon hierarchy and order

What are the birds saying when they sing their songs
What does the wind whisper through the trees that stand strong
What kind of stories are washed away with the rivers flow
What sacred information does our land want us to know
What would our elders say if we gave them a voice
What would life be like if we never robbed them of their choice

Why is a crooked letter and you should know better
Why did they always tell me that as a kid
Why did the adults try to silence me when I would question things
Why wasn’t I allowed to know
Why didn’t they want to tell me
Why did it always feel like I was on the outside of some secret society
Why is what they don’t want to hear when they want to keep the truth hiding
