Those thoughts... I've been there, not right to the edge, but I've thought things that frightened me. I love this poem, nevertheless, Margaret. And the painting. Those colours are my colours!

Thank you, Cesca. I’ve had frightening thoughts as well. It’s so hard.

I love the painting too! I could paper the walls with my kids’ creations 💛—they grab my heart.
