Gypsy mother.

by Purcy

My mother would often suggest I sleep on it. Presumably mulling over all the possible outcomes whilst dreaming. We were raised with anxiety, my mother was a live wire; adrenaline primed our hearts to avoid judgment, or catastrophe in an uncertain future. At this very moment I am living in the now, and in love with all living things, no-longer afraid; no longer clinging to the illusion of control, in an uncertain future.
