What a beautiful piece this is. I struggle with depression even on the best of days, and I draw sustenance and solace from friends and family--and from poets like you who are not strangers because of what you share. Your words matter. Well, all of our words do, even those we have to return to the soil. You call this post "The Worlds We Make," and I think, yes--I still get to make my world. I still get to feel love and compassion, as much as I can muster, not matter what. No one can take that from me without my permission. Thank you for your words.
