We took nine

“We’re healing and we’re having fun.” We took nine. Almost nine out of nine lives to get here. What I’m saying is, in a lot of ways, it’s not easy. At least not always. This was one happy moment. We’re sharing it. But know, we’re not picture perfect. There are defects. We’re learning to work with them.

Do people on the outside have insight and see through our see-through veneer, our semblance of order, and see into the sweet significance of our mere getting along? This show, this performance, this faking it until we make it, if we make it, this perseverence, this keeping of appearances, this is enough, enough’s enough, enough already, it’s impressive enough just to be here and persevere.

An expletive belongs in here. “Fuck!”

Well, nothing is so severe.

Grace abides.
