Brilliant!! Love this 👌🏻

Especially:

- “I’m grateful for small victories.”

- “And the mind, watching its parade of thoughts

enter and leave, begins to see them

for what they are: jugglers, fire swallowers, acrobats

tossing their batons in the air.”

"The way the heart still beats time

in the cathedral of the ribs."

Bowing to this word-smithing showing up as a boost, thanks to Phyllis and Danusha Lameris!
