Reaching out

Sending a cheerio @Kyle1

I tried to find a Mary Oliver poem for you. Have you read any?

I'm sorry @Kyle1

I'm here if you want to talk.

Thanks @Dimity

No Ive not read in a while 🫂

thank you @Birdofparadise8

Did you get home yet?

I'm at home. I've had a nap and still feel nauseous. I'm just taking the day slow. I have some more cleaning to do, but I'm unsure. I don't feel like doing much.

What is happening for you @Kyle1?

I've hit a wall and gone splat @Birdofparadise8

I have the world pressing in on me and I just can't manage today

I'm sorry. I know exactly how you're feeling @Kyle1.

Have you heard about the move yet?

What nice poetry do you like? I know how much you like it. You just have a way with words.

@Kyle1 best wishes. Not sure if this is appropriate

Hurricane
It didn't behave

like anything you had

ever imagined. The wind

tore at the trees, the rain

fell for days slant and hard.

The back of the hand

to everything. I watched

the trees bow and their leaves fall

and crawl back into the earth.

As though, that was that.

This was one hurricane

I lived through, the other one

was of a different sort, and

lasted longer. Then

I felt my own leaves giving up and

falling. The back of the hand to

everything. But listen now to what happened

to the actual trees;

toward the end of that summer they

pushed new leaves from their stubbed limbs.

It was the wrong season, yes,

but they couldn't stop. They

looked like telephone poles and didn't

care. And after the leaves came

blossoms. For some things

there are no wrong seasons.

Which is what I dream of for me.

-- Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings

no @Birdofparadise8 I've not heard anything on the new residence. My current landlord is unjustly ticked off with me and I just need to get away. I've applied for every new lease I can afford and everything seems to be taking so long.

Now i have the kids settled in school i've been actively trying to re-enter the workforce, but failing. Ontop of that, I know I'd be so unreliable anyway coz of this darn illness!

So, inertia is me, and it's hurting

bless you so much @Dimity

It is beautiful.

I will treasure this one!
