“Great morning! I have some amazing “I am” affirmations that I affirm each day for those I love and for me like…I am who God says I am or I am financially blessed and abundantly supplied…real nice and cute but under all the brilliant “I am’s” I’m also this to the enemy! “I am the memory that won’t decay, the glitter that won’t wash off, the bone lodged in the throat of every enemy who dared to swallow me whole as well as the bone in the throat of every lie! I am the thorn they thought was a petal, and the bone they can’t cough up. I am the brilliance they can’t dim, the name that won’t go silent. I don’t haunt—I highlight. I’m the divine interruption in their narrative, the ache they can’t explain. I am the glitter in their regret, and the prophecy they underestimated. And it is so! Let’s GO!”

“The thought of your disembodied network repulses me, but I look at you, Red, and see much of myself: a desire to be apart, sometimes, to under stand who I am without the rest. And what I retum to, the me-ness that I know as pure, inescapable self is hunger. Desire. Longing, this longing to possess, to become, to break like a wave on a rock and reform, and break again, and wash away. This is a necessary part of any ecosystem, but it unsettles others, this inability to be satisfied. It is diffcult-it is very difficult, to befriend where you wish to consume, to find those who, when they ask "Do I have you still", when they end a letter with "Yours", mean it in any substantive way.”
