Typically, springtime is my time of renewal. I'm very driven by seasonal change, as though my DNA is in tune with those things that my ancestors remembered and modern people tend to forget.

Due to issues entirely out of my control, I've been thrust into "fight or flight" territory. My only choice is to sink or swim. I can dwell in my misery and pull against the reins or I can thrust myself headfirst into the wind and go where it takes me.

Bear and I are well. After some momentary arguing about some ingrained issues (that tend to reoccur spontaneously), we're on the road back to discovering the fire that brought us together in the first place. Keeping the romance alive, so to speak, becomes difficult after a tumultuous year and a half in which the physical and emotional caretaker roles switched hands entirely. Re energizing patience, finding our way back to physical intimacy... much easier said than done.

I'll be writing more here. I'm almost done with school for the semester and ready to rock and roll, baby.
