Maybe your feelings about the accident are hard to move on from because it is so violently frustrating. Cyclists getting mowed down by aggressive or distracted drivers is just becoming commonplace and with laughably minor repercussions. How that changes seems impossible sometimes

An apt point and a good reminder for me, too, not to downplay that frustration. Thanks Neil!

Thank you for writing, and sharing, Katie. It is all very moving. This line really stood out to me, and I feel captures not just the fragility of what you've described so well, but of our current time, too, "The body keeps score but you’ve no idea the reckoning."
