GAH. This part: "Maybe this is why we do it, expose the inner workings of a thing only to hasten its death, as if we could comprehend our own eventual unraveling." Followed by this beauty: "I wonder at how hard we try, saving one thing and another, in place of ever being able to truly save ourselves." The observations, the exquisite detail, followed but the gasping wonderings. This is why you're SO DAMN GOOD. Loved this, Jocelyn. So, so much.

Wow! This speaks so deeply within me. I’ve been in an emotional funk the last couple of weeks and reading soul healing writing is saving me. Thank you, friend for this. “ Because this is what we do, string ourselves together and protect our inner tenderness by giving life where we can, a sense of its finiteness always present, as we sleep, as we fly, as we hope that somewhere a part of us will live on.” Wow, I’m crying reading this…so beautiful.
