Day 15 Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.

Sleep... oh ya. It's gotta be sleep. Years ago, I was writing a series of poems about some "stuff" and I was so immersed in it that I went without sleep for a while and then, I discovered that the more deprived of sleep, the more I could connect with those old, deep feelings...

I suppose that the truth is that I had already healed for the most part... but writing about it was something that I had to do...

and, since my accident in 2000... my body doesn't generally let me go without sleep... I'm running on about an hour today... but this time, it's because we are in the midst of losing one of the dearest men that I have ever known... and I am needed.
