I don't carry a totem in my pocket but I have a secret place hidden in my heart that grounds me tethers me to reality gives me strength for the journey reminds me I am not alone in this even though I am alone in my own skin. Beneath the shadow of God's wing there is a place of stillness a place of Presence a place of knowing a place of being a place where no enemy can withstand a place where I return to come back to myself.
