Stefanie Neumann

A face drawn with orange paint on a tree trunk.

If you don't see as much of me, as usual: I'm presently experiencing some kind of an inner, and creative, reset.

Also, clearly, I'm not the only one. Nor are you, should you be in this club. 💗

Thank you.
I've already heard stuff from someone who watched it at the movie theatres right when it launched. But your report validated my feeling to handle my own viewing with care, so to speak. 😁

SANCTUARY There was a time when I could relax into my sacred space A sanctuary all my own to be in ease and grace I shared it once it was beautiful like coming home times two That was before the grave shift before the desecration before sacred was turned to scared How to heal from such a rift I do not have a clue But I do one step one breath one iota at a time © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

TO KNOW

I've Never seen the moon
rise over desert dunes
I've never seen the sun
not set at northern nights
I've never seen auroras
in light polluted skies

It does not mean
they are not there
or that I can't
associate
with realms that are
hidden from my eyes
