What a powerful piece Cynthia. So much went into this. Such evocative imagery, we were there with you too.

Almost like a pagan invocation. The invisible prayers inside us pull us to our knees, spill out in words like these.

There is power to naming your pain & sharing a shame. I appreciate the intention of this piece. May leaving it behind bring you a true sense of peace.

Thank you, Laurie. I believe there is power in naming & sharing… more than I even previously knew. I welcome peace and growth and I so appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts. 🕯️ a loving community is vital. You have provided that. Again and again.
