The Praying Mantis

1morebaby (1 of 1) The praying mantis poses like a Kung Fu master, a Shaolin monk or a Shaman priest.

It can be as still as a stone or strike with a shameless speed.

In an instant its hidden wings can appear and ride the wind on waves of power.

Its many eyes are ever watchful, and its 360 degrees of perception means it is always prepared to fight in any direction.

It is fearless and it has no thoughts of death.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
