Clean, Facing the Sun

I sometimes feel like I am on the edge of return -- like I'm coming back to life. I feel the soft air at night, the sweetness of my feet curled into my white parquet bath rug as I step out of my steaming shower in the morning -- clean, facing the sun, noting the red leaves and white sky of the day outside my blue bathroom's window.

I turned off the TV. I'm listening to music.

Life seems possible again, like I'm on the end of a limb ready to fall with stinging joy back to the earth, ready to run far from the dangers trodding steady like a black dog at my feet.

P.S. I miss my trelly-trelle (here pictured.)

You can't go around posting pictures of me on the internet. It's not my style. I miss you too!

Yes, Ama, you should write more. Your words are beautiful. Also, on a less mushy note, we need to talk about Kat's wedding film fest.
