I agree about the time factor - as was the case with my former spouse.

Self-healing is certainly my priority. We live in the same town, he's a big shot artist here - painter, sculptor - and I have two of his pieces in my home so eventually I'll be returning them.

For now, I'm enjoying focusing on my creative projects, my poetry, journalism and cultural events.

Jajom for taking the time to express your solidarity so thoroughly heartfelt. Sending smiles your way.
