Thanks for Everything and Goodbye

Yesterday Mallory and I met for the last time. Polite formalities were required to put closure to six years of the strange intimacy of psychotherapy. She. "I have gotten much from our meetings. You have made a lot of progress. Thank you for everything." Me. "It has been instructive for me, also. I am thankful for all you have given me."

Letting loose the moorings that once were me, I with no hesitation.... enter the gray swells, float free.
