Relief

Pain receding is like background noise ending--in an instant, stress disappears; my self floods back in. The silence, my own presence, is almost otherworldly.

    Well described!
    Laughed my way through your toddler blog! Hard to stop reading it - wish I'd done that when mine were little!

    Good job describing the relief from pain. With a long history of migraine, this subject is one I've never been able to capture in words.

    I love your last line. It's such a joy to be able to experience one's own silence.
