"Form of former self is not there." It's always a pleasure to see transformation. As the snake shed, a new self emanates. Great write Sara.

thank you, Jerry, for your kind words. Glad you liked the vertical format. I like writing them in that fashion...gives the reader pause Have a splendid day, Sara

I share your thoughts on cocoons after someone dies, physically & metaphorically. Grateful you like my 'vertical' Monokus. Have a blessed day, hugs, Sara
