Tests

Tests
8/15/11

These arrive on daily basis
in myriad forms and expression,
some simple, others quite complex,
depending the realm challenge occupies,
whether strenuous in mind, body,
spirit, or emotion, there are
delicate intricacies to sensitively calibrate
while performing life's mundane activities
especially if recent injury hampers
usual range of inherent productivity
thereby requiring a concentrated awareness
of less than flexible area,
this is when self-care involves
utilizing healing modalities to re-connect
with innate ability for mending
what fabric has been torn
which creates a vulnerable environment
where other tearing can happen
becoming frayed mess of confusion,
ideally there's time 'off field'
allowing opportunity to control motion
take care of neglected details
long overlooked when 'on go'
until work and financial responsibilities
demand re-entering world of potential
filled with tests to resolve.
