The rope that pulls you from the flood can become a noose around your neck.
yes, this is the story of brother and sister, of parent and child, but it is so much more. it is love, and loss, and secrets, and friendship, and the attempt to reconcile the holes in our hearts that grow wider, and deeper, with age and experience.
Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
