Do Not Stir

I was off this morning. Felt alienated from Steve (my husband) …wanting to blame him for something or other. Distant from myself too. Even when we sat, trying to ground ourselves, my husband’s yawning, fidgeting and eating his banana before hockey grated on me.

All of this around someone I love dearly and know to be my best friend. I knew I was caught in sticky angst but wasn’t sure what it was about.

Taking a few more breaths while sitting and grounding I heard my small, still voice whisper:

 “You don’t need to know…just let all settle.”

A small comfort bloomed in me. I was able to lovingly, generously, say goodbye to my husband as he left for hockey.

Do not stir

Let all settle

Comfort blooms

As we return home.
