I feel as if I'm posting fugitively again, from my seat here in the downtown Seattle Public Library. Each time I visit, more significance becomes associated with the actions; the people around me are on missions tense and meaningful. The pressure of compressed time pushes me; I keep forgetting to choose a length longer than the default thirty

If I did not live half a world away from you you would now be in my spare room, with a small terrier snuggling on your lap, and a beagle sniffing through your things hoping to find food. I know what it is to cling so hard to being strong that you sap all your strength, and to feel as if everyone else must be on more important business than you. Please don't deny other people the privilege of helping you out, and do be kind to yourself.

I do hope you get the housing and everything else just falls into place for you. I'm praying for you feel better if possible.

Bits of distant memories floating up when nearly forgotten, that's always amazing. It sounds like a real period of grace, and I'm glad it's lasted into today.

Sending many thoughts your way, hopes of life easing for you, and finding yourself in a better place in more ways than one.

Thank you so much for keeping us posted, and not only that but sharing these exquisite bits of writing about your life.

p.s. So very sorry about your mom. I lost my dad in October and even though the circumstances weren't so awful, gone is gone, and it's hard. Hugs and love.

What a beautiful description of your childhood memories, washing over you like that. A bright, hazy little spot of joy.

I hope the prescription helps-- I had a sinus infection/cold thing for two weeks earlier this year and it was pretty dreadful.
