Well done, Jonathan. I enjoyed this and the whole story that goes with it. I have to say that it often amazes me that words we write can have such meaning and significance for other people.

"... little did she know

her words were yarrow stalks

gathering together

and forming these yin and yang

lines of an I Ching reading

hidden in the poem’s sinews."

Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live!
