The Bedrock

 

The Bedrock

By Annette Camp

Resuscitated.

Restored to life

from a place

that was dying.

A painful place

that lacked 

TRUE

connection.

Coming from a

psychologically

expressive

deficit.

Arising out of

a feeling of

emotional

disconnection.

REAL talk.

Sparks of light.

Gentle tears.

Vulnerability.

Talk about life.

About love.

About anything.

And everything.

Not just dialogue

around the day.

or family.

or weather.

More than

conversation

in the kitchen

over a meal.

A voice spoken

without regret

or fear of

consequence.

Honest.

Supportive.

Softness.

And strength.

The bedrock

of trust.

of respect.

CONNECTION.
