Dear followers – From my poem, I think you’ll be able to see where I’m going with it. I’ve decided to leave Twitter permanently and move to Blue Sky Social. I hope you decide to make the leap too. :)
I won’t delete my profile on Twitter for a bit, but count on me being out of here in the next ten days. You can find me here – https://bsky.app/profile/susibocks.bsky.social
Hope to see you soon!

discard the old
bring on the new
always be aware
to tread cautiously
Redux
Pushed over the edge.
Waves of emotions coursing.
Tears flow unlocking the deep hurts.
Loud yells projected to match the pain.
Feelings challenged. Resolutions sought. This torture ends now.
Distancing from the anger, the fear, and the abysmal. Letting it go.
Choosing peace, choosing harmony, choosing growth.
Deep relaxation and openness stage a presence.
Self-soothed in this self-connection.
Manifesting healing.

It was incredibly serene. Even turning the thin page of the bible disturbed the silence. I fought to keep my voice muted, killing the urge until my throat felt numb. I laughed, thinking I deserved a halo, as my mind wanted to orate. Theatrically, my face beamed as I imagined the members filling the pews waiting for a great sermon.
The crack of a twig under my feet made me quiver, almost leaping out of my skin. Realizing it was only debris, my angst disappeared. Exhaling loud sighs, I realized there would only be more empty churches as time passed.
i’m turned upside down
my head stuck deep in the ground
the world has shifted
with cunning glinting
behind adventurous eyes
possibilities await
unbounded by previous restrictions
excitement and anticipation
flush through her veins
the quest for achievement
greater than thought within reach
illusion or reality
Change is difficult but sometimes we make it harder. Paul’s got the right idea, let the tension move you.
VJs Weekly Challenge – Decisions

“The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.” Maimonides
To Dare That next step, what might it mean, an ontological rift or that the shadows have shifted? How ironic, of course they're shifting anyway, why the hesitation? The tension of change is all around you, overtaking you, now is the time, to dare to move. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
When I was younger, I followed the adults before me and made a New Year’s Resolution or two. It’s as if January 1 were some magical day, which that alone ensured success for those things I’d wanted to change. More often than not, I’d fail to follow through. Eventually, I stopped doing that. On the day I decide when I’m frustrated or dissatisfied enough to warrant some change within myself, I do it, whatever that day of the year turns out to be. It seems it works better for me this way.

pay attention now
your heart is talking to you
a change is coming
