My newly-discovered overwhelming emotions for you and your family lead me to a question —
How much of the love inside me has been built up / dammed shut / closed off / crusty-eyed barren territory over the years and its just now able to flow away from me and by flowing away from me it also flows over me?
How long was I lying in a dried up badland riverbed waiting for the rain to save me when I could’ve been saving myself? My eyes can finally open, under the water so deep and fast and clear.
I thought maybe I would drown in it but now I’ve let the rapids rush through me continuously. Instead of drowning, I’m more alive than ever.
