this is such perfection. you write so honestly and with your genius of storytelling I can just feel that precarious place it comes from - vertigo/nausea and the relief from vomiting! and the appreciation from that all of that causing you to slow down if for just a moment. I am going back to read it again. thanks tonya!

How eloquent and elegant are your descriptions of place, of your illness, of your appreciation of your healthy body! Beautifully written, like a song.

Very touching, very beautifully written. I will take "The universe would not be still for me this morning. I had to be still for it. " with me for a long time.

You write as naturally as breathing, Tonya. This is truly a masterwork, a glint of light coming from your soul. It moves me deeply to read it. Can't say much more than that as I'm still under its spell.

I absolutely love the phrasing of "wounded, but still climbing out." What a perfect way to put it. Thank you, as always, Connie.
