Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

“I wonder if part of the problem has been masking on both ends?

But, I do think that pausing to observe our potential reactions before action is still good practice.

It’s just the lock-down hiding that keeps us second-guessing.

Do you think we could get strong and brave enough?

I don’t want to wait until we’re ‘perfect.’

How can we rebuild trust in ourselves and develop trust together from the very beginning – even as just newly re-learning?

What core component can we hang our coats upon that will allow us to begin – and keep progressing through any weather as we grow in strength and get better?”

Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

Do we know enough to
“Get it right” this time?

I don’t think that there are
Really any “wrong” moves

Although we can agree that
Extremes must be managed

Simply because resulting confusion
Could send interpretations careening

I think for a relationship to work well
It mostly takes collaborative attending

And hopefully agreeing on essential things
While working out kinks in disagreements

The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense, Where Demons Tread

Imaging

“Re-scans for neck and spine since that backwards fall over and into the open suitcase – and now the other hip – are now ready to be performed.

At this point, though, do I really want to know?

This experience since the accident has carried too deep themes of humiliation and intimidation.

Having to advocate for myself while injured, yet doing all that I can to mask as ‘normal,’ creates an internal dichotomy.

Am I injured, or am I well?

Every moment is a type of phasing between realms, stuck in between and pulled waywardly-twisting over crucial pivot points – painfully, if not vigilantly careful.”
