“The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;—
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.” (excerpt from Bronte poem titled, Evening Solace)

3.Evening Solace
by Charlotte Brontë, 1816 – 1855
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;—
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot fly,
While, lost in Fame’s or Wealth’s illusion,
The memory of the Past may die.
But there are hours of lonely musing,
Such as in evening silence come,
When, soft as birds their pinions closing,
The heart’s best feelings gather home.
Then in our souls there seems to languish
A tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans of anguish
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.
And feelings, once as strong as passions,
Float softly back—a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tale of others’ sufferings seem.
Oh! when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time to be,
When, through the mist of years receding,
Its woes but live in reverie!
And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness;
And, while the sky grows dim and dimmer,
Feel no untold and strange distress—
Only a deeper impulse given
By lonely hour and darkened room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven
Seeking a life and world to come.
I use to main line meth now I main line the program of recovery one day at a time .My gratitude shows in my attitude.
Being sober brings my whole family into a state of bliss and happiness. I recently visited my mother and visited with her and my nephew. We cooked dinner and had my partner come over. My mother looked so chill and relieved. I know that she is happy to have her son back. I know that brings comfort to her heart and if my mom is happy. WE ARE ALL HAPPY.
Good reading today
I listened to friend talk about his addiction, childhood, and going into a recovery home. Also, the person I’m buying my house from was feeling anxiety. I sent a message about myself and how much I will care for the home. I’m using money from my inheritance so I shared a very personal story about my family so she would feel better letting go. I didn’t need this as offer was already accepted.
