I am prepared,
My consciousness waiting, scrubbed
I am willing….
Ready to co-create the experience of
Encounter and conversation….
I am waiting… ready for the moment to arrive.
I dropped a hammer on my toe yesterday
It hurts.
It is not to be ignored.
It is persistent in its ache to be recognized…
and throbs with my heart…
Walking is difficult.
Conscious of my foot at all times,
I am aware of each step
curbs, stones, others’ feet.
All I do and think is modified by this ache…..
Simple things become major events…….
Ah……
….. You were there all the time.
