There is petrified grief the size of a black walnut. It resides in the chest.
It can rob you of your joy.
Petrified grief can steal your words, that express your truth.
As you struggle to liquefy your grief, it will reach out and grab to pull that grief back in.
We all grieve and that is not a bad thing. 
We must take it out and look at it, and send it away. 
Most of the time it leaves, sometimes to be replaced by new grief.
But the petrified grief remains, not wanting to be there but remains all the same.
With hope we all can find a way to disintegrate the stone, turning it to dust.
Particles that can be washed away by tears, flushed clean leaving a shiny heart.
A honey filled heart.
A heart that is open and can receive the sweetness of life.
A heart that can give that sweetness back to life.
We all live in love and hope.

  1. Those "black walnuts" can be like black holes, sucking all the joy and light into nothingness. There is a saying in the program, "You will continue to repeat something until you replace it with something else." I hope a honeycomb replaces the black walnut soon.
