An explanation is in order I think. Less than a week ago I suspended my Facebook account and left a journal entry here saying I would be gone for a while. I reactivated my FB three days ago, and posted a new (old) poem here yesterday. So some of you are going "huh?" I am sure. I'm not one for drama and certainly do not like acting out for sympathy's sake. I did, however, have a perfect storm of stressful situations that came to a head. I freaked out a bit and was shutting down. I made the decision to take out all distractions from my life and concentrate on the events at hand. Now that much of that is resolved, I realize I didn't need to be so drastic.

My divorce was played out and concluded in court on Thursday, with very little fanfare or trouble. I was expecting it to drag on and get ugly. Now that it's all but done (some paperwork to finish up), I feel the absence of a great weight that has been lifted from my soul. To all of you who have been supportive,  helpful, and just there as friends I say THANK YOU so much! I could not have done it without the support of you all.

Many of my poems over the last two years were driven by this parting of ways. My writing has also helped guide me through this time of dark uncertainty. I hope to branch out now in new and brighter directions. And there is that prose book I started too...thanks for understanding.

i'm glad things worked out for the better and you changed your mind. i knew you couldn't do it anyway! hehe you're a poet dude! writing and being able to put your heart on paper is part of you. never give that up even if you don't like where it's heading because it always show you your true self and re-directs you if need be.
