These reflections come from the questions, changes, losses, discoveries,
and ordinary moments that ask me to stop long enough to put words around them.
I entered ceremony asking for my body to heal. What followed brought me face to face with the way I had spent my life force, pushed past my limits, and mistaken survival for strength.
I had spent years creating things meant to offer other people warmth, safety, and the feeling of being held. It took a night in the hospital for me to understand what it meant to let that same care reach me.
