Control has been a way to protect myself. Oh, yes, there are so many ways I try to keep that firm grip. One old standby is the hiding.

That kind of beauty
I wish I had the language and talent and experience to write something full of beauty. I walk in the woods often. The sights, sounds, smells help me feel calm. I feel like I’m where I’m meant to be.
