I was so glad for your visit but sorry to hear of the chaos: praying the peace following makes it all worthwhile. I would love to talk with you.

First, the quote about man inventing cages. God. So true. Then your GLORIOUS poem. But mostly, the story about the dog, so accustomed to being bound that he forgot to ever try to test the chain. Wow. You have nudged my soul forward in ways you cannot imagine, and reminded me that I can lay down the burden and simply walk away. I will. Thank you, kiddo.
