    Wow. Thank you so much! I just love this. I so loved arriving at those dawns. We were happy warriors, giddy with generosity and possibility.. Those days when we could live headlong through nights with unbreakable hearts.

    1. Wow, that’s a beautiful response. I can feel the nostalgia for those days, and when I think about it — I long for free days and nights of giving, experiencing, and sweet exhaustion. The exhaustion now seems so much heavier. Thank you for your comments and for listening once again.
