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.
