The last few days have been a whirlwind of extreme highs and abyssal lows, but things are settling down for me.  I'm once again at peace.  A lot of things have come into focus in unexpected ways; the pain was difficult, but it's been worthwhile.

I'm not going to delve into details here, though.  Those are private and between me and a few other people.  I'll just say this, share one piece of wisdom that came to me yesterday: in a healthy polycule, each atom can serve as a lens through which insight on the others can be gained.  (Though perhaps 'mirror' is the more apt term, as deep reflexion is involved...)

I've learned so much over the last few days.  It's mind-boggling.  Some of it consists of things with which I know not yet what to do; some of it is very immediately applicable.  I know the same is true for Tarra, the high school friend with whom I recently reconnected and in earth-moving ways.  We're both ready now to take a step or two back and keep learning from what we've taught each other -- and that's a good thing.  Growth is always good, even if it sometimes involves some pain.
