Recovery

Recovery from any injury (physical, emotional, or spiritual) is an every day thing, an hour to hour, sometimes minute to minute stilling. Standing still is sometimes the best that I can do. I'm standing still. But it doesn't feel much like living. It feels like catching my breath.

Recently my daughter called me her "lighthouse." The lighthouse may be still, but the light is nearly endless, full of purpose. I could be a lighthouse. Better than the boulder under the surf at the land's end. But it is fruitless to compare one thing to another sometimes. Such as now.
