And I love that you gravitate back to your poems and have shared this with us. I can't believe it's been a year or so since your last one. I love the flow in this, the easy rhymes at the end stanzas that contrast with the hardship, and the overall reflection of these past decades. That last image of still trying to map your coordinates, our place in this world, feels so relatable. And it is bravery indeed, just being here. There's bravery in so many things we overlook, in simply writing and giving our feelings and pain and experiences a chance to breathe and speak their truth.
