I was reminded of something I had read in college that always stayed with me: Writing is easy, you just open the vein and bleed. It's funny, I thought that quote was in a writing book called Tapping the Vein. But I just realized that title is a Clive Barker book which I have never read but also remember seeing around that time and I conflated the two. I suspect I also conflated the book Writing Down the Bones which probably has a similar quote in it. (All this is secondary to my first point, but I had fun sifting through old memories.)
Your words have their own lives, individually and collectively - whether they reach the page or reside in your own heart and mind. Thank you for sharing these words. Your caring spirit keeps my soul strong. I hope mine can do the same for you.

We will be waiting when you emerge from hibernation… my your dreams be as peaceful as turtles on log in a pond in the sun with nowhere at all to go 🐢
