Liver long and prosper

So, Nic got a new liver!! I got the call Saturday night that he was going in for surgery. What a relief! Though it seems with each new bit of good news comes another tide of praying and anxiety. It will never be done with. I won't feel okay until we sit down to break bread together, drinking purified water and laughing out loud. His face is constantly in my mind. I see him when we first met,..so young and vivacious. He knew all the words to "slim shady". He knew the way out of a dark shadow. He was instantly kindred, an old soul.
I see him later, more worn by the world, seemingly waiting for everyone to catch up to his knowledge and calm.
The world has done many a quick-change to us all. This experience has given me a new opportunity to make contact again. I think that i had forgotten how we could all affect the world and each-other for the better. Now it's time to grab-up those loose ends and once again be a part of something greater than singularity can be.
...to weave with understanding and non-judgement,a web that will catch us if any of us should fall. Join me in the weaving.
