grocery store, refrigerator, pantry, menu, restaurant, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack
food has been and is a constant for a lifetime
unlike sleep or breath, two other old friends of mine, it has been and can be a challenge
“don’t get too hungry”
”don’t get too full”
”here, have a cookie…you’ll feel better”
”why did i eat that cookie?”
shhh…
just nurture yourself
like your breath and your sleep do
awake is the best
it’s simple
it’s clear
it’s one voice talking in my head
my sight is vivid
there is such beauty, such color
there are shades of sleep
pitch dark, head on a pillow sleep
thin film of grey, unfocused, walk around the day sleep
and shades in between
awake is the best
memory is a tricky thing
it dodges in and out of the shadows
it’s quiet until it’s not
can’t decide which is worse
not remembering or remembering
not true!
remembering is always better
today she leads a CHARMed life in spite of it all…(due to it all?)
because of the damage to her body she had to find a way to heal her soul
because of being blinded she had to find a new way to see
because of being deafened she had to find a new way to hear
because of being muted she had to find this new voice
