Turning toward life again

To dream again is not to forget

what has been, but to take part

in a deliberate act of reengagement

with what remains, even now.

It is a way of turning toward life again:

the details that linger,

the memories that still matter,

the connections you’ve made

that didn’t disappear,

even after all these years. 

It is to make space

for these kinds of questions,

however you can:

After everything, what continues?

What endures?

After all this time,

what might still be worth the effort?
