“Open Eyes Dreaming” by Gyurka UNSETTLING WITHIN Within that unsettling silence that finds me unaware and unprepared as it descends and closes in upon my heart in the middle of the night, eyes wide open and no rest in sight, trying to ward off those uninvited thoughts tossed aside so long ago, most largely forgotten […]
DREAMING BIG DREAMS New dreams to dream, new ways to be me, my soul once more stirred, a new fabric to weave, lost within my dreams again, musing and amused in the middle of the day and happy that I am. Dreaming big dreams under the bright light of day, I know that eventually those […]

“Learning to Walk” by Gyurka A BALANCING ACT I’d love to march into each day with steps so brave and bold, with the wind always at my back no clouds overhead, no thunder or storms, only sunshine and smiles guiding my way – not just sometimes, but all the time; that’s definitely how I’d like […]
