How did a tapestry so carefully woven become so threadbare?
Each little stitch, unravelling.
Tarnished gold,
Rusted red,
Sun bleached blue,
The image lost, in tatters.
And now with the last tug on the merest thread,
Rip the whole to shreds.
Take a new frame and stretch the warp
Weave a new dream.
I’ve missed you buddy

So sorry not to reply to your lovely message. It is a wonderful thing to hear and I need someone looking out for me at the moment. I will be erratic for a while as I deal with some major changes in my life but writing helps, as do the kind wishes of my friends out there. Every best wish to you! 🙂

A horrifying roller coaster ride doesn’t sound good, dear TJ–is everyone okay and accounted for?? My prayers are constant for you all, and love too–I may be somewhat absent temporarily, but will catch up. ❤ 🙂

Everyone is accounted for thankfully and your prayers are greatly appreciated. I am trying to get back on track again and cometo terms with some major relationship changes in my life so forgive me for being erratic for a while. Great friends and family are such precious things and I have been blessed with so many. God’s speed! 🙂
