one week later.

last thursday my husband and i separated.  he left, i stayed at the apartment.  it has been the week of the tower.  everything has come undone.  the sun has come and with its light everything that was hidden is now illuminated.  i have realized that i have been living in complete illusion.  it is almost unbearable, this transition.  but it is what i had to do.  i had the epiphany, it struck me... it's okay to end this.  for your sanity, and the health of your soul, you should do it.  and it's okay.

of course, the finger points in my face.  i'm a bitch, i'm cruel, i never loved him, i'm not even his friend.  but none of these things are true.  i hope the storm settles soon.  in the mean time, i am burning.  everything i have been in the past five years is burning away, and i am at the center of the fire, self-gestating.  waiting to emerge reborn.

  4. i'm having a rough evening. saw my husband for the first time in almost 2 weeks tonight. we both cried. it's horrible how painful it is for us both, and it's horrible how we can't just... collapse into each others arms. this is quite possibly the worst trauma i have ever known

  5. Hmmm, what can I say, but that I'm no stranger to trauma. I'm sure you'll make it through; I know that's not much of a help, or consolation right now... Sending some positive energy, across the universe, to you; from Shallow Window to the Red Moon. And this song has been making me smile of late.
