The Musings of Morgan Rie

Now that I am to be taking potassium, magnesium, and iron prescriptions for the rest of the foreseeable future, I've been having a lot of mixed feelings about adding these to my weekly pillbox. I already have meds for anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia. I am fine with taking them all, they help me of course, but it can be such a hassle to keep track of everything's dosages, effects, and schedules. --- What’s one more pill? One more thing to swallow. What difference does it make? Add it to my list of things to take. I already  take so many. I already take so many . It doesn’t make a difference, don't make a scene. What if I don’t want my days planned around my pill-popping routine? What’s one more pill? One more thing to swallow.

I've been feeling a lot of things towards my religion lately, especially after having not attended meetings for over two years now. I figured I may as well start to write things down, and let the healing process happen. It's rather interesting, that they say religion heals the soul, when for me, it has only opened wounds I never noticed it at first I thought it was normal That's why everyone else always cried at church, right? Wrong. Apparently, one can cry for joy The first time I did that was when I realized that religion doesn't need to be a bureaucratic web of rules and lists the dos the don'ts the checkpoints the benchmarks and rankings the haves and the have-nots and cycles of sin and confession and shame ~ Religion, for me at least is a word representing one's personal connection to the Divine, whatever that may be, according to each their own That's what I believe, and that's what healed my soul I think that's rather interesting.

A little something I wrote about some recent experiences I've had, which have been a huge inspiration for the majority of my writing. --- I always grew up hearing "Blood is thicker than water" This comforted me, as friends came and went Until I learned that "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" My world was inverted I had no blood, only water and I was drowning until I met you You became blood and you're joining us in the water ~ So yes, blood is thicker than water but however you mean it, we are 60% water and 10% blood and I'd like to believe that last 30% is love The love that binds us together The love that makes us fully human To truly connect one requires both blood and water
