re-read this again this afternoon and found more hidden treasures, mo0re parallels from my own life like the cane I bought to use in a TV commercial I did for the actor to fake a limp. Years later I needed it myself - then years later needed it so much I bought a fancy new adjustable cane that would collapse for travel. Curios stashed away for "just in case" but the case is coming. Your words about the unknown last time are poignant .... tides ... thinking of the greek philosopher who noted that you cannot step into the same stream twice ... the ocean doesn't change the same way, but we do ... each step into the ocean we are a different person. Each new poem you write now is powerful - informed by the changes in your life and your wisdom shared. Thank you and love to you.

Thank you for reading this at the Oceanside gathering. It was a joy to help share it. Beautiful structure that echoes the strange uncertainty of circumstances both environmental and internal.
