Description
For many moons she had been sleeping in that halfway place of unrest . . . that place where worry has crept into the sides of her mind and kept her from the deep slumber she so desired. Her eyes would close effortlessly, as the body said yes to stillness . . . but the mind was a canyon full of memories to retrieve and process, and her pillow never seemed to have enough space to hold it all. Even her memory seemed to fade into the liminal with her nightmares. When this lack of respite also creeps into your waking hours, and you find your mind spinning without relief, allow the Muse to blanket you from above. Your fears are but illusions of the future, while in the present place you are safe, held, and loved. Quiet your mind. Even when it seems far too simple, the answer is always love. Remember this, and being mindful of your circadian clock, let your healing rest take over.
Poem
Hello, muse Hello, stardust Drenched in magic Your ripened eyes Without ruse And in full trust Of your truth
Visual Description
A dark-skinned figure with eyes closed is centered against a star-speckled cosmic background and a golden halo. White dotted lines trace across the arms and torso like strands or beads, and a vertical orange plume or beam descends toward the crown. Clouds gather along the bottom edge where a small sleeping naked figure rests on the right. At the bottom is the title reading "9 of VOICES."
