I didn’t realize that the second day would be more TOUGH than the first. If I could ORDER my scraped knee to hurt less, then I certainly would. But I know that pain will lessen with time, and I need to ALLOW for healing. I will never again SCOFF at a scraped knee as a minor injury!

This summer, an intriguing PAUSE.
an opportunity to practice
the SKILL of receiving.
Attention like a STORM.
Often the slowing down into coziness
type, held and captivated by the shift
in air, sky, water, color.
A storm that soothes.
At other times the kind of storm
that blows too hard, unsettles
saturates, floods, too much to fast.
Aspects of self and other SHOWN
as we stretch capacities,
flex new patterns of interaction.
Nothing to SCOFF at, these lessons.
And soon the summer gone.
