The Opposite.

I re-bought my house today.

And sat on the floor of Barnes and Noble

And cried.

I held her book in my hand --

She called and said

"Don't stop

Don't pass go

Head straight to the store

And buy this book

Its the second book in four days

I've read."

Miracle.

Joy and fullness in her voice.

So tonight,

I went and held it in my hands

Choosing to See.

Leaned against the bookshelves

My legs propped up

Before me

And cried.

About alone.

About a house.

About a family who loss.

About hope.

I bought a house today

And cried.
