I absolutely loved this post (and who knew you could take such an artistic photo of crutches?!) I related so much to how we put expectations on ourselves with this idea of gifted free time. And the paragraph about the boxes is genius!
"I have not turned mine into a car, a boat, a chariot. I have simply sat in it."
I'm right there with you, Lizzie. ❤️
And a million times yes to: "If there is one thing I have discovered, it is this: that a thing accepted for the thing it is, is no less of a thing as a result." (I wish this was more widely recognized.)
Your writing captivates and comforts, as always. Hope you're healing up okay ❤️🩹
p.s. I concur that excavating the nasal passages is oh-so-satisfying!
Hello Al! Lovely to hear from you, I've missed seeing your writing on here! And thank you for commenting, and being a fellow enthusiastic excavator 🤣 I'm so happy that this piece resonated with you. Here's to gloriously empty boxes and things simply being things. I'm so far managing to hold on to some of that simplicity and spaciousness. I hope you are well x
I gave myself time with this piece after my own writing thing morning, as a treat. It did not disappoint. Sorry to hear about the next op - hope you can find ways of making it all work. Xx
