The wounding of living runs deep
though I sometimes do not speak it,
and sometimes I’m unaware
till a time of its awakening
fully felt in all its bruising,
and I would hold these wounds,
these bruises,
and nurture the pain all the more
were it not for your soothing
whispers, your demulcent touch.

learning is earning, and we are making it easier.

One starts to heal where one hurts the most but I know some people avoid the pain in various ways and prolong the journey.
