Unfamiliarity

[adrienmundi]

I am realizing that I am one of the luckiest people I know at the moment. It is hard to write that, hard to see that as anything other than a silent thought, for fear that in naming it I draw the attention of some malevolent forces who will take it from me. And yet, it feels ungracious not to appreciate this collusion of time and place (and I fear malevolent forces also respond to a lack of gratitude; my cosmology is weird). For once in my life, I am beginning to feel regarded, accepted, and valued by those other than the tiny one (who has kept me as sane as I am; I am daily and immeasurably grateful for that).

Dearest, while I've known this all along, I am thrilled that you are being to be able to see this. You are well loved. *smooch*

I have a hard time describing my reaction when I read this. It involved laughter, but only because the mind didn't know what else to do - but measure it as something like joy.

It's still a very unfamiliar sensation, and I'm terrified it will slip away, but... well, it hasn't yet. Here's to keeping fingers crossed.

Excellent; you are.
