Time passes quickly. This is what happens when obstacles are removed. I feel, finally, the soft breath of a future that comes in like the Spring. It is real. It takes shape. It now has a form that is not merely the stray imaginations and dreams...

What I am enjoying, more than anything, is contentment. Peace. It is not a peace of complacency, but rather a peace of finding balance.

A peace that comes from going forward and not having to look back.

A peace of not having to defend words and actions and ways of being.

A peace that comes from being able to give without feeling like one has lost anything.

The days do not slip by. They march toward.

The days are not empty, but rather every one filled with a laughter that my muscles have never been used to. It is a new expression on the face and, even as it is several months old, still the muscles even there are not so used to being stretched in this way... and why do people peer at me and ask if my hair is recently cut? I have not so much of it... but something is changed, surely ...

"What is it, then?"

I shrug.
