I've always seen growth as an awkward and uncomfortable (at times, even mildly painful) process. There's satisfaction at the end of it, sure, as with all things that required a little sweat, a stretching of muscles that were not used to movement. But there is a beauty and loveliness to it that I often overlook (as a result of my saturnian habits - perhaps I would learn to grow from this as well), and this piece reminded me of that - a venusian reality check, which is always welcome and necessary.

All this to say: thank you for sharing this, my dearest friend. I know I rarely comment, but please know that I always look forward to your writing. Growing with you has been - and is - one of the things I am most grateful for. Wishing you calmer and more stable weather ahead, as well as energy and protection from any storm that might appear on the horizon.

Thank you Lian for this. I enjoy hearing more about you, your life there in Texas, your life before knew you and of course about your life with Michael.
