------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alone, fear and shame settled deep in my core. My reality reinforced all the 'truths' I took in. Questions, though unspoken, circled the darkness...
As I turn days over, as I turn years over, I hope, eventually, for a new way of seeing and the peace therein...the peace found from turning what I've believed to be truth on its head...
I'm trying to spin long enough that I might piece together the pieces to find this peace.
I wish each of you peace as well...
