It is important

to take things

slowly

and allow

recovery

to happen

at its own pace.

There are no

magic formulas

for  healing

physical,

emotional

and spiritual wounds.

Healing

occurs on its own

schedule.

Sometimes

recovery

can be traced

in measurable

milestones,

and

other times,

it occurs

quietly

in the dark.

Expectations

don’t help me.

I have very little

if no

control.

Life

seems to

make up

its own

roadmap.

Going in circles

detours,

layers,

and then

more layers appear.

Perhaps

I thought

that I would be

wiser by now.

Paying attention,

being in this  moment,

mindful,

breathing in,

breathing out.
