"HEARTSEED" WILD DESIGNS SHAMANICA organica, plants mushrooms

Heartseed of Organica, Happy Clam Island (38.062,208.379,3.87106)

I grew up seeing things a little differently, appearing,
disappearing, hardly innocent,
nor tied down to the ground.
I learned to roll and tumble with the punches,
glory in my stripes and spots
walk by invisible and never make a sound

But heavy is the crown that's always hidden
tender is the heart you never see
hard and fast shines the grin that we flash,
but there's a vulnerable stripe or two on me.
Maybe any place outside of Wonderland
is not for me, my friend.

If I leave my grin behind, remind me
that we're all mad here
and it's okay.

--S.J. Tucker - Cheshire Kitten (We're All Mad Here)
