My body continues to tread water through its daily existence and each day challenges me to find some sort of grounding. I often wonder who needs taking care of as I find myself sometimes spiraling in a downwards cycle-- not even taking a required break

A horse is a horse
Of course, of course
Unless it's a horse

When I'm not with you?

A Tiki Bar with glasses hanging
Upside down from the stemware over the bar
They got wood paneling, cottag
