I am not okay today.
So, in the absences of okay,
what else can I be?
I can be gentle.
I can be unashamed.
I can turn my pain into stillness.
I can be awake to nature.
I can sharpen my empathy
against the stone of discomfort.
I am not okay,
but I am many worthy things.
from Leaf Litter by Jarod K. Anderson
