This piece felt like walking through a fog of memory and emotion—quietly powerful and haunting. Karen, your writing captures the invisible battles we all carry. Thanks for giving shape to the unseen.

This is the line that stopped me “We can't hide behind the known forever”

Beautiful poems! "Love is learned" has been such a beacon during this season of life. So much is possible when we surrender to the thought.

Beautiful, Karen! Many lines resonated with me, including this one. So true.

Deep emotion is uncomfortable

when we don't know how to love

It's easy to hide behind the safety of what we know
