No Words - OK, only a Few Words


Wild Geese in in Kinsale, Ireland
This morning I'm at a loss for words. I thought perhaps if I simply sat ready some would come. But not so. It's as though time has stopped. Nothing is different from yesterday. Except that yesterday afternoon I had an endoscopy and this morning my throat still hurts. Perhaps words require no pain. It's not that I hurt a whole bunch, it's just a "discomfort". But it is attention-getting. This day will be one spent in contemplation - not my navel - just being still. I must say, I look forward to a full day with no plans and no duties. Maybe I'll start gathering tax info? Maybe. Maybe not. Perhaps the greatest gift of aging is the gift of time with no duties.
