It’s been a long day…
Put some honey and sea water by your bed.
acknowledge that your being needs sweetness and cleansing.
that it is sore.
that you are soft.
— Nayyirah Waheed, “orishas” in “Nejma”

Morning Walk. See, But Can’t Sit.
It started on Friday with my virtual Aussie friend commenting on my T.G.I.F. post: “So, are you sitting there yet.” And like Pavlov’s dog, I take the bait and reply: “Sitting? There? Anywhere? No.” But, the punch lands and it hangs all day yesterday, and into the wee hours of this morning when I reply: “It’s 2:10 am here. Lifeline required.” She gives me another shot, this time about gadget addiction. What is it about me that encourages these blows?
I step away from her truths (therapy) and go back and re-read her last post titled “Accept…then Act” @ Living in This Moment — “change comes from making space in stillness to see my situation from a higher perspective…” Like WTH is that, and where does one start? I totally have the “Act Act Act” part down, or perhaps better stated” Do Do Do Do.”
I read several chapters in Susan Burton’s new book “Empty: A Memoir” and stop at “…A deeper understanding, a new tenderness.” I close the book, crawl out of bed and get ready for my morning walk.
4:30 am. I’m out the door. Continue reading “Morning Walk. See, But Can’t Sit.”
