Life has at times been like
   a playlist driven by uncertainty
      and fear,
  sometimes
      frantically skipping songs
         until the “right” one plays,
   sometimes
      tryingtokeepupwithwhateverpla
      ysnextnomatterthecost(ohgosh
      it’s“ThroughTheFireAndFlames”
      andIcan’tstop)untilI
         hit
            a
               wall,
                  experience the stillness of
                     a soundtrack (ah, Shore’s
                     “The Shire”),
                        and make time
                           to heal.

Now, life is like a song sung
   by my favorite songwriter,
      the comfortable tempo
         perfect for walking.
