Unfettered..
Sometimes, perhaps,
we should go out to the full moon,
and howl like
unfettered wild things.
Howl our torment
as nature intended.
Howl into the ether.
Howl until our pain
is washed away
by bright rivers
of liquid moonlight.
Howl until we feel
a place deep within us widen,
and tendons lengthen,.
feel our breath become slow
and deep.
Only then do we go
back into the forest.
Return to our lair,
We turn around seven times,
and drop down gently
into peaceful sleep.
~Dell Livingston

March 24 will forever be both Jonathan David Lidestri's birthday and the day I brought my baby home. To say that my life changed is much more than an understatement. Absolutely everything has changed and changed again and again. As I edit this, it is now March 24, 2018...
