The wind nearly blew me off the ledge, but I landed softly into loomed arms. They’ve been there always, haven’t they? It’s a grand reveal. I’m getting real with myself, the good, the bad…all of it. I sat with the complexity of it all, you know the humanness of it all, that fleeting experience where beauty takes a toll. Up here that part of me can growl and howl, there’s gotta be grit…“conversion has made our hearts a battlefield”…I’m not going down, no I’m staying above it all for my address has been changed forever and there is a celestial party in my honor.
