Catching a Blackbird's Wing

Choosing to live after having to let go of someone is a difficult thing.
It is the overcoming of inertia. It is the dragging forward of the right foot, then the left foot.

"No!"  I command myself.
"Don't sit down, and Do Not Lie Down!"

Pressing forward and away from this ache in my solar plexus, I received the gifts of comfort.
Comfort threefold:  a song, a photograph, and children's works of art.

the song:  Gulf Coast Highway by Nanci Griffith
the photograph: Texas Bluebonnets
the children's art work:  little renderings of polar bears under the auroras
