Soulstirring Reads: Embers To Set Your Soul On Fire
“There’s a fire starting in my heart

After a time, predestined and proportionate to the hurts I’m trying to heal, I start to yearn for heat. A slow burn begins in my belly and travels up to my heart then throat, and down to my feet.
I ache to rejoin the living through feeling. Simmering, I crave to be afire.
