Storm Prefaces Sweet Beginnings


Tonight, for the first time in years around here, the sky blew up with lightening and the thunder cracked through the walls, rattling and challenging my sense of safety. It was awesome, in the true sense of that word.

Been gone too long. The Ink Tank ran out of gas for a while, life can do that. But I'm back--thank you Adrienne for the push--and so here we go. Got so used to being scared and anxious and fretful that I forgot those are choices I can choose not to make. The sky pouring down now, soaking everything, knocking buds on trees into bloom, filling the hills and roadsides with green. There's a promise of something better coming. Some sweet beginning. And I'm so grateful for the friends and, at last, for hope.
