The Dream

A series of old memories,
residue of time gone by.

Why now?
You mean nothing.

Don’t you?

The Meaning

old memories
Not all memories dissolve on contact.
Some stay lodged until the body feels safe enough to unearth them.
Healing isn’t a delay, it’s timing.

What Lingers…

What if the body stores what time alone can’t dissolve?

What if release depends not on will, but on safety that never comes?

Marginalia

We know that painful memories can be hard to process, but what happens when they resurface years later like fresh cuts, unannounced and unprepared for?

I don’t think our bodies want us to return there; instead, I think it’s a passage forward. To allow us to reframe with fresh, compassionate eyes. To help us let go.
