I'm standing in the aftermath of an earthquake, sure to be followed by tremors along my pathway of life. The earthquake shook my inner being--but, I'm glad for the movement. Standing here on the other side, I'm not waiting for the tremors--I'll deal with them when I need to--but rather I'm setting up shop on the other side of the fault line, and I've realized how long this has been due.

And, I'm glad it's over.
