Dru, you write beautifully. Made me choke up to think of all the turmoil and the long path to peace.

The heartbreak of this is beautifully written and tangled up with hope. I love the image of the net being cut from you with Chris' single question.

I look forward to part two.

Big love, always

I, perhaps, don't have the skills to give anything except my impressions. You have given a beautiful, poetic piece of writing about ravelling and unravelling, one that I can identify with and I think many others probably could. I think the power of your writing was demonstrated to me when you wrote about finding Mary Oliver (in poetic form) in the garden centre and then when you dropped the bomb of leaving your marriage I felt it as almost physical impact. Your end of the road metaphor was so powerful as well and I like how you blend metaphor and life together, I live in a metaphor defined world and this resonates.

Thank you for sharing it, I look forward to reading more.
