I am the host of my own chaos,
setting the table for thoughts
that arrive uninvited.
Some bring flowers,
some bring storms—
but all of them sit down
and teach me something
before they go.
A place to show my work
I am the host of my own chaos,
setting the table for thoughts
that arrive uninvited.
Some bring flowers,
some bring storms—
but all of them sit down
and teach me something
before they go.

I believe that yes, a little chaos can be actually good because I feel that it keeps us flexible, creative, and awake to our own lives. The chaos when it is small, not the life-changing kind can nudge us out of our comfort zone. And during this time, it sparks creativity, problem-solving and adaptability

Amidst the chaos, serenities reign above,
A tranquil heart knows not the world’s dismay,
Like still waters, reflecting stars thereof,
In gentle whispers, life finds its soft way.
The calmest days are gifts that we can love,
Where moments linger, stretching into gray,
In nature’s arms, we seek a sweet reprieve,
Finding our solace in what we believe.

Manic, crazy, chaos, oh my,
In this wild world, we’ll give it a try.
Embracing the frenzy, we’ll dance through the night,
Letting go of worries, feeling the delight.
The stars above shimmer, igniting our souls,
With laughter and love, we’ll break all the molds.
In the whirlwind of life, we’ll find our own way,
Together we’ll shine, come what may.

Fury in the wind,
Life’s unpredictability,
A whirlwind unfolds.

In complete chaos
The life we are living in
No light to be seen
Only these small smatterings
Not quite enough to read by…

Your three words today are:
CALAMITY
CHAOS
CHAGRIN

In a land of calamity, things went awry,
With chaos erupting, oh me, oh my!
A cat chased a dog, a kite flew a tree,
And the neighbors all gathered for popcorn and glee.
With chagrin in their hearts, they watched the great show,
As the dog stole the cat’s snack—what a way to go!
Amidst all the laughter, they laughed till they cried,
In a world full of mishaps, at least they had pride!

Overwhelming feeling has begun.
where to start is the question.
so many things to get done,
with each new thing
just amplifies the feeling.
A whirlwind of thoughts collide,
like storm clouds gathering,
each task a thunderclap,
each worry a flash of lightning,
illuminating the chaos
but leaving no clarity in its wake.
I grasp for one thread,
but it slips through my fingers,
caught in the chaos,
lost in the static,
and still, the clock ticks on,
demanding attention,
a relentless metronome of urgency.
Breathe.
A reminder whispered softly,
like a breeze cutting through the noise,
offering a moment, a pause,
to gather scattered pieces,
to sift through the overwhelm
and find the first step,
the one that starts the path ahead.
But where to start?
The question lingers,
dancing on the edge of resolve,
each moment a flicker of possibility,
waiting for the courage
to take that first step
into the unknown yet intimate.
So, I sit with it,
the weight, the pressure,
the promise of progress,
and with each heartbeat,
a quiet determination forms,
no longer drowning,
but swimming towards the surface.
MAD Missy

Chaos and distress,
In turmoil and deep distress,
Trouble surrounds us.
