That really is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your expeirience, and it sounds like an intimate one at that.. So thank you! I have experiences similar. Ohhh I need that connection sometimes so badly, or at least for me I think that's what part of it is. Connection to parts of what I am that can get neglected or side railed.

You are a beautiful writer! And I'm glad there are no crocs! The swamp actually sounds amazing.
