Sort of Odd

 

It is sort of odd

you can disappear for 

awhile and then come 

back and be someone 

more. A leaf turns and 

faces down into its dying 

before it actually falls. And, 

next year it comes back 

a new leaf, greener than 

when it left, much more supple.

I know a worm can become two 

worm-people when it is broken.

I cannot imagine this is as much 

fun as staying one person when 

broken - pulling all of the 

pieces back in. But it is a way 

of transition. It is good for 

me to find the oneness of getting 

back. I'll let the worm be the 

expert of twoness.
