no words, but these…

I thought I had left trauma work for good; Or at least for the most part after I was diagnosed. My body, my nervous system, my immune system: the impact zone. 

Cycles of healing, redefining, reworking, re-examining life, my heart, my mind. Actively turning attention to life’s beauty…and joy. Recalling the cyclical nature of existence itself. And still, maintaining hope.

Now I sit just a few miles south of ground zero. No longer a direct hit to my body, but a scorching of the collective spirit. The sun was not the only force to show no mercy that day.

Today, trauma is the air we breathe. It’s not attached to work, but to my neighbors eyes. A three hundred and sixty degree, twenty four seven kind of therapy session. One that comes to no end.
