This is beautiful and brilliant, Adrian. And my inner kid instantly recognized as kindred the description of yours. As a kid, I felt safest and most peaceful outside, looking up at the sky, imagining that same sky stretching over the whole, wide world. The oceans, the mountains, the deserts, and that people everywhere could see the sun and the moon and the stars. And that comforted me (still does). I deeply resonate with your metaphors. Flailing, lurching, learning to swim without water. Whatever perceived solidity existed before has gone wobbly. Thank you for the reminder of the both/andness of all that is right now, and for your lyricism and the gorgeous photos of these trees framed by the sunlight of some greater spirit. ✨🕊️
Wow, what an imagination you have & such an avant-garde way to deal with your past situation & emotions. It appears that even today you are still using that strategy. It is amazing that you went into counseling as a social worker to assist your clients in understanding & managing their emotions. I love that you are so descriptive & creative in your writings. Keep those creative thoughts coming.
