This is so inviting ... so inviting. Thank you, Billie
ps. when I read "something broke in me," I thought about my own experiences of something breaking in me. Sometimes breaking like a levee. Sometimes breaking like a siege Sometimes like a fast. Like a wave. Like my mother's mother's tea set when I accidentally knocked it to the ground, the one my mother who never cried, cried over, the only thing she had left from her mother who died when my mother was 14.
Sometimes breaking like the stained glass I had constructed of my past, the one I looked through to live in the present and imagine the future.
Sometimes breaking like my heart.
Well, Billie, somehow you opened this in me. Thanks again.
angie! thank you for this. the thing about breaking is that it is often so necessary, even when we don't want to it--or maybe especially when we don't want it. so grateful for your words and for you, here!
Wow. I cannot (yet) put into words how this is resonating within me. I want to jump out of my dentist chair, while I wait for x-ray results, and follow your words. Words. But oh... here he is...
oh i'm so glad! that's really all i ever hope for my words to do--resonate. also i especially love that they found you were reading this in the dentist chair, hahaha. what a great example of the the amazing way technology and words and community can permeate life in a good way!!

Angie this comment is a poem of its own ♥️
Billie's words called that from the deep :)
