i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

because it is done.

i am done.

at least, for the larger picture.

its been exactly 7 weeks.

a long 7 weeks.

a good 7 weeks.

what else can i say?

except this marks the first of many moments of closure.

a good sign.

there is release

and there is freedom.

there is joy in healing.

hello beginning,

i'm back here again,

it's been a while, you look lovelier than ever.

now would you show me the way?
