Untethered

Little by little, thread by thread, I am becoming untethered. My questions trip over one another, my thoughts churn and roil. A silence that bewilders settles around me like dust. That’s enough of the world for today.

Sometimes you can learn a lot by taking it easy for awhile and not stress out on the big questions... Things will work themselves out in the end. You have a way with words Jack... When I start unraveling I find the pen and paper are good substitutes for a sewing needle...
