selfie

I snapped a selfie for those of you who were caught amiss with a selfie of me in intensive care 2 years ago.

I failed to date it and the concern about covid engendered fear.

See the pink glow.

Rejoice that Don and I are thriving.

The small steps are a resurrection.

For you and I

For your kin and you

Alleluia!

A Creative Life

A creative life

is any life governed more

by curiosity

than by fear
