i cough.

and breathe and

cough

again

and wash

and walk and

run

and run and run and

run …

and still you stick

in me.

  1. Dear Pam,

    Your last two posts have got me concerned. They seem to speak to dark themes and tragedy. Though I may be reading something into this that doesn’t exist, I get the feeling that you are in pain. Please confirm that you are okay physically and mentally, and if not, what can I do to help?

    An old friend, Elliot

    Absolutely okay physically and mentally! And thank you!

    • Glad to hear it, I guess I was trying to rationalize the feelings you were expressing as something sinister or dire you were experiencing. Keep them coming and I will try to simply appreciate them for what they are worth!

      • Thank you! It’s like this: there is SO MUCH in the world, and I’m really, really good at opening myself to all of it. Sometimes it’s about me, but it’s also sometimes about family or friends or lost friends or wishes or tears or those who are difficult or closed or hurtful or joyous. Some of us live in relatively tight worlds. I have the joy/difficulty of living in all of them.
