More death in the news of innocence and self-discipline on my mind. Working on memoir still. A beast of trauma and honesty that takes place over the course of about two years. Dedicated to finishing it. Slowly and steady writing it and editing it. Made fry bread… not as good as what I’ve had the last several months; treated good. Listen to April Dawn Harter and we might heal the world: The sins of our father are that of not addressing their trauma, and is such our sin too…
