Keep it simple stupid - referring to me!

I am letting the rain be both my lullaby and muse these last few days. It is hard to just let my tummy heal when I personally put pressure on myself to get up and do things. For the last few days I have taken a step back and just focused on the cocoon. There isn't noticeable improvement, but these things take time.

I have been reading Mary Oliver. She helps me to see the beautiful simplicity around me - even in this city. I came across these words of hers that really resonate for me "As a poet, I am beyond what I believe myself to be." When I write poetry I do reach beyond me, deep into me and I hope deep into the world around me.

So that is for today my keeping it simple. Focus on the healing. The next step will be getting back to work, but not right now. I have to be able to sit in a chair for some time in some comfort, which is a challenge now - so I rest and read and heal.
