@7f80d53a this was stream of consciousness, just opened notes and started typing… I wanted to see what came out, and the result was not what I expected. It does carry a heavy loneliness and grief that I think I’ve never tended to. 

To breathe, such a simple, mechanical action, but so impossible for most days. 

An aching to be part of it all and exempt from this feeling. 

 It is remarkably coherent for a stream of consciousness, and, it seems, surprisingly revealing, even to yourself, @Michelle. 

 @7f80d53a very much so. I think I need to try it more often.
