    This is another one with which I could sit & ponder for great & indeterminate periods of time, allowing the shifting sense of various meanings wash over & through me. Do I feel bitter? Angry? Thankful? Closed off? Wounded? Hurt? Ready to leave the toxic waste behind & find something better? Done with love altogether? Yes.
