We have to be aware of what's happening in this topsy-turvy world. Blessing.

Your words are full of longing for news and resolution - an amazing sense of waiting. Love the way you used the metaphor of "falling" in fall. Sending you blessings for a positive outcome. Your short lines say so much!

I love you Kimo, Kim. The title is perfect given the last line. Subtle but well done. Have a great day, Sara
