I thought I had it beat. I thought it was gone for good. Why won’t it stay gone?
On feeling more hopeful, more victorious, more triumphant than what it wants to allow you.
It’s so quiet sitting in the parked car at home. I can hear my own blood near my ears.

He gives me so many things, least of all the homemade bread.

Hopeful for ourselves
We all strengthen each other
Magpies overhead
Trials overcome
Hidden cats watch with caution
Connections will fade
My mind is my worst enemy.
