Elbows-
on the table
glow of the screen
socks kicked off
at the ready.
Here I hunker-
there you hunker
down
keeping
the in in
the out out.
Even when-
upset
uncertain
scared
We
are still here
gravitating to
the same place
the same space.
In this moment –
I can’t promise
anything
neither can you
nor they.
Things-
everything
shifting
changing
evolving.
Yet-
in this moment
as I belly up
to the table
socks near
my feet
Elbows-
on the table
ink dancing
on the page
It is enough.
In this moment-
I am enough
doing enough
so are you
so are they.

Sunday Reflection Quote…Just like that, we’re all getting schooled. Ironically, while we try to flatten the curve, the learning curve is insanely steep. The levels of adversity we’re experiencing as individuals and as a collective spans a continuum. The end points unknown. I’m reminded we all perceive and process adversity differently. Each predicated on prior experiences; each equally valid. Here’s to acknowledging the difficulties, shifting gears, and pressing on.
