(I hope I can email you this week, if we don't lose power from a snowstorm.)<BR/><BR/>Apart from the incredibly painful and riveting (required) metamorpheses, your writing opens petal by petal like a delicate flower blooming. Even those that one blows petals on later to make wishes...<BR/>Your writing draws me inward so deep, I feel like I'm seeing into your heart-guts. (Forgive me, if I'm offbase in my commenting and missed something. Sleep has eluded me and I'm reading this groggily after no sleep, but I cannot leave without commenting.)<BR/><BR/>The photo and title are compelling: like voltage searing through you, strong "currents" you (and she) must traverse. Sometimes it feels like a lifejacket is needed. So many more thoughts. This piece speaks to me on so many levels, I'm literally shivering.<BR/>xxxooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-9905995350696120632007-02-06T10:44:00.000+00:002007-02-06T10:44:00.000+00:00Angel, EM:

But afterwards I can't help but wonder what people who came across it made of it. Is it clear what is going on? I don't know.<br /><br />But I do know that reading your comments has been... I don't know what words to use, but I appreciate them so much.<br /><br />Thank you.Waspgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622501349281216734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-25514230718858309072007-02-06T10:33:00.000+00:002007-02-06T10:33:00.000+00:00I found this very moving and haunting.I found this very moving and haunting.Edvard Moonkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657471716396077364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-74241724042198020822007-02-06T05:55:00.000+00:002007-02-06T05:55:00.000+00:00that was incredible!that was incredible!AngelConradiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423318903817661244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-52592023460025423992007-02-05T12:44:00.000+00:002007-02-05T12:44:00.000+00:00Kristen, Ramiman, Miss Iyer:
