I love the transition in this piece from the garage to the cavern, something about the idea of stepping stones. As one who is actively working to welcome all emotion instead of stunting it, the idea of stepping stones is very permissive...thank you for collaborating with me!

Thank you Brian. It makes me very happy to hear that! Creating art is prayer and salve for so much.

I just finished reading a stack of letters written by my father to my mother during the first two years they were married, before my brother and I were born and discovered several things that I was never aware of, like opening a trunkful of memories or secrets I never knew.

Like Brian says, this is a lovely transition brought about by this closing line: On the cavern floor stepping stones rise to tunnel me back to my childhood.

"Stepping stones" and "tunnel" create an almost fantastical vision in the mind.
