in this household, 'tis verboten to call a certain "someone" a savior...in "someone's" mind, it's just "no big deal". but in my heart, there lies an inexpressible gratitude; a love that overflows and fairly drowns the steps i daily tred...so cool beans...this morning i will let others spill their words...and i'll slosh through their puddles of lyricism, and he can take it up with them...

i still pop 19 pills a day.
i still have pain in my incision.
i still visit cedars more often than the wind blows.
but there's a feeling i'm moving past. that feeling of cramped limbs frantically thrusting out of a thick, muddied swamp of stagnant water. now i feel a cool rush propelling me forward. not a forceful, panicked swell; but rather, gentle caressing waves urging me onwards; watery embraces gently floating this woman towards the beautiful unknown...
and sorry, kmac, but it's all because of you...
