Dear Lin, Most people like to talk about standing strong through the storm, but you captured that very specific, exhausting feeling of being completely down, floored and sunk, right when a brand-new threat shows up. Sometimes we just need someone to hold off the wild things long enough for us to catch our breath and gather our strength again. Magnetic poetry has given you some great poetry lines, and I love Tigers too. Blessings, Daniel

Hi, Daniel and thank you for taking this one metaphorically. It could pertain to any hurdle in anyone's life. I'm enjoying most of the new fun challenges. I just did a blackout on one of my own. why not?🌹
