I take refuge in her house, Where the world grows quiet am no longer asked To be anything But still. She is where find my rest. Where my wounds are given time o heal. Where lay my armor down And let ler the weight of the day Fall from Ty shoulders. @mudd_ash'.

Photo by Ash Mudd on September 18, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'I call the light my friend And rise to meet him. He is where intention Becomes action. Where dreams are given hands. And possibiliry Becomes creation. He is where I move. Where build. Where play. Where I reach toward the horizon And dare to follow the sun. @mudd_ash'.

Photo by Ash Mudd on September 18, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'So somewhere between them, Where she meets him, Where stillness meets motion, Where surrender meets will. Where tenderness meets strength, place There is Where neither must conquer The other. Where the moon Does not compete with the sun, And the sun Does not ask the moon to disappear. They simply take their turns Across the sky. @mudd_ash'.

This is so beautiful Ash. The paradox of living a rich life, and being a whole human. Absolutely stunning words.
