This poem, Salena, it is everything. Wow! Your telling is so real so visceral so resonant, my body is tingling with the feelings brought to life in this work of art. I'm still in the thick of it, the gooey sticky unknowingness of it, soaring one moment to warm blue skies, plummeting the next into fiery despair so I'm grateful for your sharing of the other side, of the cool evergreen that awaits. I read out loud verses 5 and 6 with you compelled to add my voice to yours, to say out loud with you, I am every woman. Thank you xx

Will make a pot of green tea and read this later in the day. May even put on some Chaka Khan to accompany me ;))

Thanks for your words. My own first menopausal symptoms in South East Asia without my usual European health care was horrific. And I could never have had seen my teenager suicidal ideas related to hormones. Thanks for casting a light. Much needed
