Please don’t worry, I appreciate your reaction I suppose. I am diving a little deep tonight, trying to use words to get at some of the ugliness in my mind. It seems sometimes the most morbid writing can be soothing to some degree. I’ve written here for so many years, I don’t know who reads my words anymore, but I do appreciate the audience. Back when I was a teacher, I had students in my drama program that would laughingly tell me they would read my poetry to get a sense of the mood I would bring into rehearsal the next day. I always appreciated that awareness.

Now today I am so removed from that regularity of knowing an audience that sometimes I dive frightfully deep into my psyche. I’ve had a day I suppose that brought me to this place. I’m only exploring, not reaching for a pedestal. But I do think it wise for me to send a little flare out there that lets you all know I’ll be ok. Just taking a bit of a deep dive tonight. I’ll sleep soon and wake to another day.

My dog just came over and started licking my hand at the keyboard. *smile*
