Almost cried by sheer surprise, seeing my name there in your poem. Your poetry is so revealing, so intimate, so delicate, as if I am holding a feather in front of my face and seeing through it, to the fire on the other side. I feel a mix of warmth and chill, as if this fire is the essential life-saving force, protecting from the freezing winds of change. I feel you, my sister. Thank you for this enlivening entry in the Steemit Vision Quest.
