I could not speak. I was unable to trust my own voice, the world and everything in it. All my fears were happening – I understood that and yet at the very same time I felt so distant from it. As if I was floating away with nothing to anchor me. For awhile there was only stillness inside me. An emptiness that aches. But very slowly, as the thoughts fill the space …. That’s when the tears came.
