a day of remembrance...of taking stock and re-prioritizing...of telling one another "I love you"...setting free ties that chafe, and tying in loose ends...remembering Self and the harmony that lives within - find it again.  live by it again.  In that raw moment, and the many many to follow, all the superficial was scraped away.  years have built the covering back up, layer upon layer like an encaustic painting.  scrape away the pretty facade.  i double dog dare you.
