1. when you find yourself in the In Between-- ⠀ you may feel the pull to withdraw ⠀ how can you face others when you ⠀ no longer recognize yourself⠀ ⠀ how can you arrange words into ⠀ tidy or truthful ⠀ (or even remotely intelligible) ⠀ answers to "how are you?"⠀ ⠀ when even your name sounds like⠀ a vaguely familiar tune⠀ to a song you swear you once knew by heart⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 2. sometimes you discover⠀ that this beautiful home you worked so hard to build⠀ is not a home at all⠀ ⠀ but rather a bridge⠀ to a new home you've yet to imagine⠀ ⠀ and couldn't have seen from ⠀ where you used to reside ⠀ ⠀ so you gather your tools⠀ with a sigh⠀ ⠀ and you start walking. ⠀ ~Fara Tucker (at Lake Kivu, Rwanda/Congo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B68ltdil8yP/?igshid=1896rnhaj4xa2
