What to say when the Truth is hard to name

Say the two kitten sisters will live forever side by side even though they occasionally try to wrestle the other into submission.

Say it’s OK to be biting, wrestling, absolutely free.

Say the feeling of the moment is taking your breath away,  melting your heart even while it is crushing your pride and demanding you surrender.

Say to yourself.  Simply surrender, go free.

Say you do not feel financial lack even though nothing is certain and all your safety nets are untended, full of holes.

Say you are whole, complete event though  you know not how to reconcile the reality of what IS with either of these concepts.

Say you have a plan even though you know with absolute certainty that you do not have any inkling of ANY actions that might fit together in a sequence of possibility leading to an outcome.

Say you are OK.

Say it’s hilarious.

Say that eating dinner simply, without fanfare together with eyes focused on the future is enough.
