N. B I would like your interpretation of the poem in the comment section.
As an introvert and HSP, space is too fundamental to get myself together. I crave for space because it allows me to refresh and think.
Intrusion from outside bad
I mostly love to have enough time and space to air my thoughts in order to process the multiple motions going inside my mind.
(If you read the last post, you would understand).
Sometimes, space is more important to me that conversing with others because for me to converse with others, I need to be in the right place myself.
You get?
Therefore, sometimes I prefer to stay away from others but unfortunately I cannot avoid or prevent others from coming to me and sometimes that can ruin the whole purpose of me seeking isolation.
You get?
A Hub for creativity
As much as some of these may not be a favourite because of the whirling and swirling emotions, they have also been times of reflections and creativity.
I often make unique things during these moments because I pour my emotion and concentration into what I am creating.
More like a getaway
And because of how precious these moments are, most of what I come up with cannot be recreated. They instead serve as flashback or statements of recovery.
This topic popped in my heart two days ago and on that day, I was not feeling sunshine. I did not want to write a post immediately because I did not want to write from that point, I wanted to write after I was better.
I had planned to make it a series but……
How do you feel?
Happy?
Angry?
Sad?
Tired?
Frustrated?
Apathic?
Hopeful?
Peaceful?
Another word?
How do you do?
When someone asks you that question, how do you respond?
I personally answer with the same response unless I need to share further details which I rarely do.
We all have the answers we truly want to share. We know how we do.
How do you do?
When it rains
I love the rainy seasons.
I love the smell of rain water on mud or sand.
I love the gentle breeze and the droplets of water from leaves on a tree.
I love the cloudy atmosphere after rain has fallen.
I love the tenderness of the moments after rain.
I love the rainy season, maybe I was born in that time. When the rain begins, I put in heart that a new year is around for me.
As I stepped out that morning to get some groceries, the warmth of the rainy morning comforted me. It felt so beautiful and I felt relieved.
You see, God is in the Sunshine. God is in the Rain. God is the warm times. God is in the cold. God is in the tempest. God is in the stillness. God is the fire and God is in the mist. God is everywhere. (O. R. A)
As I walked on the moist ground, my heart reflected on the recent turbulence in the world and how it was overshadowing the pandemic and how everything was mashing up into a no-hope situation, my heart was comforted with God’s words. God kept comforting me to keep looking up to Him.
The reason why this seemed difficult was because I was beginning to focus on what was happening and it troubled my heart. It can be hard to keep my spirit up but that is not my job to do. It is the Holy Spirit who keeps my spirit up and unless I focus on Him, my spirit will be plagued by worries, fears and doubts.
My spirit was comforted as I walked back to my residence, God had used the morning to comfort my spirit.
It is more than a feeling
Living by feelings is so stresful. I can tell you because I know how it feels.
As a HSP, I know all the stress that comes with having your senses and intuition very sharp. It can become such a huge internal conflict, sometimes it is too heavy to bear.
A lot of things did not make sense to me and others but as I continued to understand myself, I could associate all of what a HSP entails.
Good for me I discovered after I was more matured to handle the meaning 😂😂.
However, regardless of that label, true satisfaction comes from remaining in God’s word and trusting in His promises. That is comforting to anyone who will believe.
After every Blue
Comes a Bloom (do not ask me where I got it from. It rhymed😁😁)
With comfort in my spirit, I was better again.
Another blue day may come but I am learning that I can overcome every time because I have the Holy Spirit in me.
TEMPEST on cardstock
This was done a month ago and shared on my other social media platforms. I did it when I was really feeling troubled. I did not like the outcome intially but I later came to appreciate it.
It reminds me of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:39.
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

I wanted to share…..
The thought came late and I could not fix anything quick 😐😐
I wanted to share something today but I may still share later if I am able to come up with something.
It would be another gift like WOIFY or even better 😇😇
On an even day, on an even month, on an even year, I get to call a day my birthday 🎈🎈 (now you know why even numbers are special 😁😁)
Okay… Pause…. I talked about Comfort Food on my Food blog.
Do check it out for more.

I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.

How do you feel now?
…………………..
I pray you recieve the comfort you need for today.
I pray that if you are feeling blue, you will bloom.
I pray that you experience the warmth of God’s love.
For me, today will be solemn and reflective while I bask in God’s continuous kindness.
I should have probably said more but this is all that comes to heart as I type.
