puzzling



a prickle of certainty grows
--premonition, of nearing 
the end of a maze
                                        --the tangled day; then Wordle
                                        coyly unscrambles, hints
                                        your name back to me
                                                                                          I'm repeating: I'm ok, I'm ok,
                                                                                          I'm ok--and edit the evening
                                                                                          into ordinariness
for a while, we tricked the universe
into letting us be in the world 
at the same time
                                                          Now, call as I might, I know that 
                                                          I'll have to come to you--you 
                                                          will not return to me

That's so awesome! I'm with Nicole - I think it's Scout letting you know that he was loved and cared for when he was with you and he misses you, but he's okay. What a crazy thing!

Nicole, NGS--I love your idea that it's a sign from Scoutie! I mean... he was fairly illiterate on earth, but he's definitely on a higher plane now... 🥰

StephLove--it's bonkers, right?!

Gillian--thanks!

I think that was a solid vacation--it didn't feel "fake" to me at all. I had a lovely time, meeting people Big A works with wa...
