"...It's been sooo long since..." plays like a show tune

The images are from Korea.  It has been a month since we've returned, it feels distant, as it did then. I maybe leaving out some important visual punctuation in this story, but I guess I can save it for later.

I have these few minutes, alone, my child sleeps, my man is out. I am joyful though tired. A short path is visible in front of me. Let me keep my eyes fixed on my feet, the place I am. Our return to that distant hillside is near.

in, like a lion

the piles of ice and snow still towering.

i am ready for spring to come. hello February. March..:coming soon.

i feel steady, grounded, grateful, strong.
the road pulls me.
i see light.
i see the hoops of fire i must pass through, the coals i must walk over.

i am afraid.
but I will
walk and jump, trudge,
flutter and fly
