Pain...
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
I met pain today.
Oh, I’ve met it before to be sure…much of it recently.
Today was PAIN.
Pure, primal, soul deep, dark, roiling, bone scraping, grab you by the collar, teeth rattling, if you think… move…breathe…I WILL kill you…unadulterated…PAIN.
And, all I could do was lay flat, still, jaw clamped unthinking through the vortex until it spat me out the other side tired, sore and wondering WTF.
Before THIS pain, I only thought I knew what pain meant. I am left humbled before that pain and respectful of those who endure it over a long haul.
The Chinese have a saying that pain is weakness leaving your body…must be one helluva lot of weakness living in there.
Tomorrow’s another day.

It dropped in for another round this morning…not as long, nor quite as hard, nor so deep…just a reminder I suppose that some weakness remains.
We'll try again tomorrow,
Sorry. I hope today is better for you.
