you can take comfort in that lump in your throat

I have to fortify myself against moments like these, when the world is tumbling all around...

But how?

I can feel the energy inside myself creeping further inward, cutting away into my core, into beyond myself.

What is this intensity? This pulse that lifts me up and awakens me? It stops me from breathing, makes me translucent and real. I know its there, I can feel it. Like the velveteen rabbit, I come alive, only to find there is no more dreaming, no one to hold, and nothing to share...

But I know I'm not alone.
