I gape into the past or look back
The past year particularly
It was semi-lost because of an accident
The year before in February I slipped on
Black ice and tore a ligament in my
Right quadriceps. It has been a long
Time healing. The book says two years.
This takes you away from many things
You like to do in the community. These
Things have always delighted me and
Include gardening, landscaping, working
With art, including framing. There are
Other things such as writing poems and
Muses that take time and tax creative juices,
If there were any to begin with. It leaves time
For reading, but mostly you are involved in
The rehabilitation of the injury. Traveling
Great distances alone are a no-no so I stick
To the so-called back forty. However there
Is much you can do there, such as supervising
And giving advise whether asked for or not.
I do not get out as much as liked, but by the
Grace of God this will change before long and
I will be back to tending the gardens and
Changing the landscape. It is a wonderful world,
With many people to help along the way.
