breathing



In the book I am reading, there was a mention of a line from "Moby Dick" which began with the phrase "At last the anchor was up...". It occurred to me that is how I am feeling these days. Grieving is a bit like being held motionless, while the rest of the world sails onward.

But lately, it seems like I have begun to make progress in moving forward. The small steps have me taking deeper breaths... feeling as though the anchor's hold is weakening.

That is good news to hear! Interesting how small snippets of what we read or hear can resonate so well with us. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Oh how I know that feeling.....being on the sidelines, unable to connect.
