Where we’ve been

I’ve been away at my brother’s house this week.  I thought that I’d be around at my house for a few hours each day but it didn’t turn out that way.  My brother had Noah for a week of vacation and so I was over there hanging out with Noah and family.  My brother is out of town this weekend with his girlfriend and so I’m going to be taking care of Oakley (his dog) at his house.  So I’ll be around a little bit, but I probably won’t really write a journal entry until Monday.

That’s all for now.

Scarcity Amongst Enormity

I feel like I need to write something and yet my words are scarce at the moment. Yet, it isn’t the deeper truth. There’s so much building within and whenever I am given a moment of connection with it, I hold my breath because I know how bad it is. The suicidal stuff rushes in like a stormy crashing wave. Then I end up feeling so very much on edge, wondering how long this will last and if it will pass without ever surfacing.

It’s so hard to find words for what is going on. It feels like things are whirling around me and inside me.
