and the snow came 

wide dense and deep - to clear it all away 

to signify release 

to remind me I am home…

anywhere. 

there is a grieving when transitioning into a new life

a letting go of parts of you to be able to commit

to new existence. 

yes

you can always return 

but to be here now

with a kind of presence

to really stand here 

there is a loss that happens

must happen

loss and acknowledgment -

and so the last days I grieved

filled deeply with anxiety and fear

some sugar combo to make one sick

today I step forward into this “rewilding” 

I take my place among “the family of things.”
