Description sing for me tonight.

earth and wind,
we pester fate, you and I—
attempting to craft something from nothing.

if you sing, I’ll dance.

each note kissing the dark,
coil, twist and weave
we breathe life into tempest.

each step a psalm.

sway
swing
spin

and later, if your words falter
after my feet stumble,
I’ll rest here with you under unbroken stars.

I shall sing you into sunrise.

Why thank you, darling. And alol...yeah. Chirpy indeed. One of my friends at church that was by my side for nearly all of this--who is very much emotionally constipated, was telling someone about me. Right in front of me. And I just...listened, stunned. She spoke about how it was so difficult to see me going through what I was--and how much it meant to see me almost back to my old self. I guess now that I'm on the other side of it, I can allow myself to see and feel how much this impacted the ones around me.

It was really difficult, Donna. But--here we are on the other side!! Woohoo.
Here ya, go. This was the next day!! Still so swollen and bruised--and hooked to the heart monitors.   Phone Stuff 2015-march 188

Oh wow, Jess, the scared doesn't look so bad, but you are so bruised.....
I can see why they were worried about you and its so difficult to see you like that....
How long do they say before you start to heal?.... a few weeks I am sure.....

a beautiful reappearance, Jess, fading scars and all.
welcome back to dA and your many friends here.

with continued positive thoughts that this story
will be told and the travails left behind and...

the proof of your personal resilience [and grace]
carried forward in future family contentment.

having gotten to know you through
your dA contributions and further
communications, Jess, i guess you
could say i care about you kind of
like a niece, [some sort of family
anyway...]

warning: according to my genetic
sequencing, i'm 3.1% Neanderthal.
[actually, i consider that a positive]
