Bird Speak

I pick up nuances of language, like imprints upon my mind – depending upon who I am frequently interacting with.

So like, when my phone slipped out hanging from my robe as if to angle perfectly – then fell smashing hard against my forefoot, I exclaimed, “Ouch! Bitch – gonna hurt my toe?!”

And then, rubbed my toes roughly to dissipate the pain’s ache, laughing at my capacity ruefully.

Smoothie

Mine are not the correct proportions until I accidentally overflow the machine.

I have not figured out if I need a bigger blender – or if this is just my nature.

Today’s Special: mango nectar, 1 1/2 cups whole milk yogurt, 1 cup walnuts, 2-3 Tablespoons molasses, 3 bananas, and 1 cup of blueberries.

So rich and yummy!

The Waiting Game

I have now begun a round of antibiotics where two a day for two weeks is the regime.

I must be careful what I eat and when around taking them, and they inflame my system.

I am hoping they will target a possible years’ long hidden internal infection, which I only recently realized could be the reason I have felt so poorly – despite determined positivity.

Tomorrow, I meet with a trainer whom I hope will mentor me and also receive a physical therapy session to begin rehabilitating my left shoulder.

I am trying to make space for my own recovery and rebuild cherished longevity, now that we are where there are resources.

A Prayer For My Soul

I asked that the blade tip broken off in my heart be removed – that it work its way up and out of my system.

Then, when others rage and project at me, the metal will no longer be there to heat and ignite me.

Then, I will no longer quiver in pain as it tears at me, and I will no longer be afraid to lead.

Then, the fresh memory of once beloveds hurting and/or leaving me can fade – as I expand into my self’s infinity.

Masjid

I went again this evening.

I cannot remember if I have been since we’ve moved here – that’s how disjointed everything has been.

I went and I prayed to Allah.

That’s right.

Because Allah is the same God as in Christianity and Judaism.

It is just that in Islam, I am already different.

I don’t have to pretend that I “belong.”

I’m a hybrid and will sing my inclusive song.
