• I've been moving a little to the music while I worked ...and then I realize I am actually dancing.

You never know when it's coming, the word or gesture or bit of memory that dissolved you entirely...It happens every day at first, then not for a day or two, then there's a week when grief washes in every morning, every afternoon.
