A stack of drafts sits on my desk,

awaiting the final nod to validate the hard-won experience

of which they speak…

awaiting  a missing piece with which to seal a connection,

or perhaps closure of an old chapter.

Some will never be shared, some might find themselves prematurely launched

Some are little more than a stream of consciousness,

while others require precise definition and articulation.

All reflecting a journey of 14,680 opportunities to redefine a life…

14,680 reincarnations and awakenings and personal revolutions.

Revelations of identity, meaning, emotions, ignorance, and understanding…

all waiting to speak their truth.
