and then and then
difficult day on the life not work front
that shallowness of breathing
that ohmyfuckinggod how do we move forward
the forcing oneself to focus on tasks at hand
day by day by day
the work itself?
moments. there are moments.
working toward more and better in the less is more and better is better sense of the exercise.
(also: related. obliquely) was able to direct the pizza delivery person to the people waiting for pizza.
small steps and large.

holding open
holding terror at things unrelated
holding on

trying to be present
tired in my bones.

Testy Pony
by Zachary Schomburg
I am given a pony for my birthday, but it is the wrong kind of pony. It is the kind of pony that won’t listen. It is testy. When I ask it to go left, it goes right. When I ask it to run, it sleeps on its side in the tall grass. So when I ask it to jump us over the river into the field I have never before been, I have every reason to believe it will fail, that we will be swept down the river to our deaths. It is a fate for which I am prepared. The blame of our death will rest with the testy pony, and with that, I will be remembered with reverence, and the pony will be remembered with great anger. But with me on its back, the testy pony rears and approaches the river with unfettered bravery. Its leap is glorious. It clears the river with ease, not even getting its pony hooves wet. And then there we are on the other side of the river, the sun going down, the pony circling, looking for something to eat in the dirt. Real trust is to do so in the face of clear doubt, and to trust is to love. This is my failure, and for that I cannot be forgiven.

and then, too
Hi Janet,
Thank you for joining us today all the way over on [our] Street. Its great to be able to have you have some time with the volunteers, who don't get as much of a chance to get to know you as we do. (woah did that sentence make sense?) Thanks so much for taking time out of your sunday to come join us. Afterwards a few people stuck around to help clean up a little and they told us that they appreciated what you said.
thanks, and we hope you had a nice mom visit afterwards!
love
[he] and [she]

yes, please and thank you very much.
it was a very good meeting. they are lovely young people. they cooked for one another, they spoke caringly yet not cloyingly to one another. they listened. they were engaged. a small good thing. a spark, an ember to support. to let breathe.
