Jesse:

I have always believed, "In the absence of hope, there is nothing."
I am so happy you were able to put your world back into the
proper perspective. That is definitely not easy during this pandemic.

"Never have I doubted that I would hold onto hope." Excellent, hope is all we have sometimes. Self-preservation is sometimes difficult but necessary. Thanks for sharing.

Compelling--spot on observation that when internals are in chaos the externals don't even register. I've experienced same numerous times. Kudos for your triumph.

Beautiful imagery used in the text, and even though it isn't about a kingfisher, I can still sense that the author and fisher experience that same struggle! That was well communicated across, so well done!

Thank you for your positive poem of "self preservation," Jesse! Good to see you back. It's a beautiful thing that you " have regained and recovered,
resilience, perseverance, and an undying commitment to better" yourself. It's something that we all need to do. And the joy of giving to others is a lasting one.
