Yesterday was a hard day.
All of it, everything, seemed dense,
Too heavy to even imagine a shift,
Despite the shifts that
Have begun
To creak
Themselves
Open.
It was a couch day, interrupted by dog walks, errands,
Stuff.
But a couch day, nevertheless.
I napped and moped and erranded myself
Through the day.
Finally,
Hallelujah—
It was time!
OH THAT TIME,
The one that seems
To get earlier
These days.
The time to get in bed.
At 7:00 p.m.,
DELIGHTED AND RELIEVED
I cozied into bed…
(This is who I have become,
The highlight of my day
Comes
At
The end of the day,
Most of it due to Most Adorable Animal Bed-Mate,
(see pix below)
I quieted down.
I snuggled in.
I began to consider,
I began to ponder.
And I remembered
The words that
Joe Biden spoke
At the memorial
For the COVID losses.
“To heal, we have to remember,”
He said,
From a place of deep knowing.
Hum.
Perhaps I was pushing down too much?
Keeping myself too freakin’ busy?
Working too much?
Getting on with it all, too much?
Netflix-ing too much and with too little discernment?
Prematurely transcending?
Too much?
Perhaps I felt safe enough
Just for a few moments
With the new national shifts,
To begin to consider
My losses.
So
I let myself
Remember
What I missed.
And then I remembered.
And then I remembered.
I miss you.

What do you miss? Can you take a few moments and remember?
Breathe and remember?
Let me know.
Please,
Let
Me
Know.
