What a month it's been! From right hand injury to first time covid positive for our family. And I'm still standing though tired and tender as I've had to endure a forced pause. Don't realize how much you do with your dominant hand until you can't do much. And once again we are reminded to be deeply grateful for vaccines, boosters and medical science.
this holding space
for others
for the world
leaves me tired and tender
sometimes i am fearful and fearless
as an unexpected pause
stops me in the moment
this moment
this now
as i stroll in my tiny patch of garden
and catch a glimpse of the pupureus hyacinth
and wonder,
how do i enjoy this muddied earth
as i stretch out of the dregs and towards the sun
embracing the space between gravity and light
