I Need Relief

jansmatters.com, June 17, 2026June 17, 2026

I need Relief.

My heart is heavy and my brain on fire.

I must Refrain.

My anger is ugly and my fury misplaced.

I seek Redemption.

My spirit aches to soar and meet no boundaries.

How about you?

Step into the Ring

Step into the Ring. Be fearless. Have confidence. Be peaceful and calm. Be strong and powerful. Know you are deserving. Be balanced. Be whole. Open your mind; Open your life; to fulfillment, limitless success, laughter and love.

      Thanks Cathy. Tried to capture the sensations that come with longing and self-exploration.
