I feel I know, I think.

I think I feel I know. I don’t know. I do know. I think.

Letting go

Something is lost and something is gained.

Beautiful, delightful things are slowly gathering, unseen, on every surface in my home. The profound wisdom and joy in a toddler’s observations.

A whisper
A cry
A scream
A sigh
A hurt so deep
I cannot sleep

And what does it mean when you don't want to do the things you do want to do?

Where does our power lie? Have we caused it?

Drained. Replenished. Full heart. Empty body.

When you're lying in bed, and decide – fuck it – to finally start that blog.
