  • Dear Fearless Girls:

    December 1st, 2018
    board-939244_1920.jpg
    I thought I’d killed fear. Through and through with good intent. Committed the best of best on the worst day, money can’t buy. So there I was, holding fear by its tail dragging it from closet to closet. Even put it under the bed once. None that mounted up to a hill of beans. Not on a cold day, dress in my finest Sunday suit, going to church without me.
    I was ready to be fearless if there ever was such a thing.
    No, but you fear, have left me no choice. I don’t have to go far to find, where I’ve last laid eyes on you.  In the mailbox – got me questioning my decisions and monies going. Hardly enough coming in. Under the hood of my car, wondering, scratching my head dealing with that headache.
    Can I go the distance, you say? You may have outsmarted me once, okay a few. I’ll give you that. I’d like to think I’ve held my own. I just want you to know. I’ve been asking around, doing my homework, if you will.
    This is beginning, of the end, a long road you and I.
    Without further ado, this letter will suffice, termination,  immediate eviction, out of the corners of my mind! Don’t worry about returning the key.
    I’ve padded that lock with a deadbolt
    It’s time I dare myself, call in reinforcements if I have to. Use all my creative passion for the arts,  I call life. And surely, courageously, read this back to myself and know,
    I’m the girl I’ve been waiting for.~your Kindness sis Krissy

  • Dear November Notes:

    November 30th, 2018

    Dear November Notes,
    As you slip away into crisp, frozen hills of December,
    here’s what I’ve turned from stoned, into waters overflowing.
    I’ve befriended rejection as it sat next to me. Something I’ve smoothly rubbed into beautiful furs of living.
    As I am alive, the smiles of my children dazzle into snow-angels, playing in the snow. The curtains are full of posts notes. Notes of thanks, 21 days and counting. Abundance has met us in the worthiness of living, miracles-over- miracles, beyond-suffering.
    Close my eyes on sorrow, open my eyes to rosy-cheeks,
    Close my eyes on yesterday, open my eyes its morning
    Close my eyes on the evening news, open my eyes/ blink- that’s a blessing
    Close my eyes on the world open my eyes in peace
    Close my eyes, citrus, and lavender, clothes are washing
     Open my eyes, I’ve got work to do
    Clothes my eyes, a taste of life, cherries on my palette
    Open my eyes, warmth in my veins
    and here and now and new~kindness sis. Krissy

  • Bullies In the Family: Tough Love

    November 30th, 2018
    I accept me justas I am without any changesneeded.._Krissy Mosley.png
    Sometimes love comes at a price,
    sitting at the dinner table
    morning coffee, beeswax jelly beans, and a newspaper
    four legs giveaways, the years unattended in empty parking lots
    unsupervised, unapprehended
    many loves can’t afford to pay
    everybody watching/nobody sees
    brother smoking cigarettes in my room
     brother blowing smoke in my face
    both hands around my neck/ he squeezing the life out
    but who I got to tell/ if everybody in the family
    one big bully and me
    “don’t wear your emotions on your sleeves,
    stop crying over spilled milk but this ain’t milk “
    more like pure unadulterated hatred,
    nicknamed me burnt, Witch/ I don’t answer
     I can take a few blows to the head/
    macaroni’s getting cold/ I don’t want food or family
    some futile leftover discussion/ how I should take the devil
    in because he don’t have any place to go
    After all, mama, if you invite the devil in, it will never leave
    so this ain’t no invitation
    only tough love, the well being of my safety/
    and a humbled slice of peace of mind~kindness sis. Krissy

  • Dear Hope:

    November 28th, 2018

    michelangelo-71282_1280

    Dear Hope, I’ve been extra careful not to use your name in vain. Or become too spirited too soon. Mama’s always said not to be getting my hopes up. Although I’ve often seen it come alive in little children. I think it’s because they’re closer to God than all of us. All I know, we could use a spell or two, even use Emily’s Dickinson’ “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all. ”

    A dear expectation, of all this good. All that is miraculous. Drinking from fountains, flowing from the vines of healing trees. Fill our cups, God…

    Hope for the nations
    Hope for the homeless soldier
    Hope for the abandon
    Hope for the immigrant
    Hope for the lonely
    Hope for the friendless
    Hope for the shut-in
    Hope for the mothers
    Hope for the motherless
    Hope for the childless
    for the dying
    for the living
    for the school teacher
    for the police officer
    for trauma victims
    for social workers
    for you and me
    and those who have no hope ~kindness sister Krissy

  • Silent Rivers:

    November 28th, 2018

    planet-1543713_1280

    For the first time in forever, I appreciated the silence. The humming heater gently soothing the cold air. The front door wide open, allowing the foggy steam to blanket a warmth to the door.

    Meanwhile, daybreak went rogue. Stretched across all the shadows in the night  Then the soul-people gather themselves together huddled through tapered curtains of flesh.

    A prize to be alive and not know it. Prize- dreams for the soul-people, dreams that die and are born again. Dreams, staying up all night. Dreams that turn souls into rivers.

    rivers bursting through the cracks.
    strong, lighthearted, genuine, persistent,
    gullable steep, shallow memories.
    walking rivers joined at the hip.

    standing bodies
    what’s eating these waters
    in gutters bursting
    half skating skeletons

    American dreams eating us,
    spittle down seeds something
    we can grow
    rivers, I suppose
    un-used rivers
    cold, chemicalized,
    calculated tides but
    what’s a river
    with all our old shoes
    torn, crunchy cereal boxes
    tires, bloated fish
    oil spills, garnish
    sacred, holy prayers

    rivers gotta run
    gotta flood out ~kindness sis. Krissy

  • Day-Dream:

    November 27th, 2018
    sleigh-ride-549727_1280.jpg
    Today I became the silent wonderer in my mind. Unconsciously, I wanted to be living the dream. You know the one, the happily-ever-after, sweeps you off your feet. And there you sit in the passenger side watching the driver steer the white drawn horses down the city street.
    You turn and wave to people passing by. You let out a breath and it’s over back to reality sifting through the wreckage of my life. No, it’s not all bad but honey it’s no fairy tale.
    Although life is a vapor of mysteries here’s where I’m thankful
    thankful for the gate where the winter birds sit
    thankful for the peace in my tiny home
    thankful for the roof over my head
    thankful for God who holds us all together
    thankful for the rejection, starring me through my emails
    thankful to keep writing
    thankful for hope
    thankful for good health
    thankful for new and coming possibilities
    thankful to finally make the change I’d like to see in the world.
    and who knows, one day soon, I’ll be living the dream~kindness sis. Krissy

  • As Within:

    November 26th, 2018

    God is both all of it and nothing of it. In essence, all of it. Then the mind can have none effect on the infinite God that lies within. None of it, known or will ever know, such great tender-fields that holds a mind, a world inside a world, beneath such beauty, in the midst chaos, inseparable stillness.

    then I am  whole,
    then I embrace,
    then I exchange,

    a little ” i ”

    ignited,
    endowed

    “I am that I am.”
    ~kindness sis. krissy

    In running for my very life. I’ve run from some things that didn’t need running from, only to wind up running again. Although the hills have laughed at me for some time now. I have not forgotten the lesson in climbing.

    The hills have a message of its own. The temperature of the hills has pushed me back to the beginning. And I still climb, contending with its pressure. I pull. I ache. I met force with stumbling limbs over here over there.

    All my life running is what I knew. To run out of my pain into fear. Run out of that into pressure. Running for my healing. Running to keep out the voices. Running the distance for my life.

    Then I got tired sat still on that hill and I listened. Its glowing winds surpassing. Even the rocky steps relaxing, with green grass so sweet.

    I could measure this small distance in defeat or finally,
    I conclude the hills are me~kindness sis. Krissy
