"They didn’t save me. Not in the way that word is usually meant. But they gave me back the morning. A reason to pull the blinds. To let the light in."

XXIII. To Old Friends, Part II: Love, Let Go.
A bouquet split in half. A bee whispers at the edge of goodbye. Petals fall into dinner, and still, she leaves gently, like something wild remembering how to bloom.

XIX. Things I Don't Understand: "Keys"(Part II).
I’ve never quite understood keys.
Or how something so small can decide if you’re allowed back in.
In "Keys", part of the "Things I Don’t Understand" series, I try to unlock a door.
The door has thoughts.
The key has memory.
And apparently, I have something to answer for.

IX. To Old Friends, Part I: Memory.
I don’t reach for the past, but it finds me. Like an unsent note in a jacket pocket, still folded. Still warm.

VII. The Woman at Union Station.
She turned back for me. Helped me carry what I couldn’t. A quiet kindness, in the chaos, that I’ll never forget.

V. Attached to Some Ducks.
A quiet ritual. Some winter ducks. I didn’t mean to get emotionally attached. But I did. And then they were gone.

Musings
Wander through the dusk-lit rooms of SomEpiphany.
A quiet archive: the tender, the tangled, the mildly ridiculous—fragments of life that insisted on being remembered.
