(Don't read if you only come to Bluesky for happy, lighthearted things.)
If I'm suddenly gone, and gone for weeks, it just means life got in the way. I'll always return to Bluesky. I've found nothing but kind people here.
But right now the complexity of December looks ominous.

Places where light used to gather..
The quiet insistence—
a force that doesn’t vanish
just because the source is distant.

If you asked yourself
Have I ever felt the rain
Not just the splash on your face~just listen
If you can hear the rain
You will hear its own language
It clears your soul and clears your thoughts
If you've felt the rain
You'll see the beauty of renewal
From the sky to your soul

In that trembling of beginnings
the whole sky leans closer,
and I offer nothing
but an open palm.
Gratitude moves without footsteps,
a wind that remembers
the names of stones,
the dreams of rivers,
the quiet labor of stars.

what enters her softly becomes part of her rhythm—

Yup. Video of Ozzy's last concert still makes me weep.
And for the dudes out there raised as I was? It took me decades to realize that crying is a catharsis. It's OK.
