I feel something in my head. I’m sorry. To my family, I’m sorry. It’s there and I cannot help but acknowledge. It’s a metallic twisting that’s working itself into pain. I chew on this pain best I can. I watch them move their mouth and I hear the words and the twisting continues. I try and identify with what I have nearest to me. If only to rest my mind. It does not work. I open my palms and ask them why. A voice tells me to calm and to understand. It’s my voice.
Ouch! That’s my code for empathy. As my dad used say, “Just spit it out!” Of course, if he didn’t like what I said, well … ! 😦
I just watched Gavin’s super-advanced coordination with the pacifier! That he has the capacity to figure that out – and then carry it out – is pretty amazing on so many levels! 🙂

He’s much fun to watch develop. We brought him to visit family in Maine last week and he met a dog and two new cats. It was a large intake weekend for the little man. I see just how badly he wants to make words. Soon enough!

To me there isn’t a source of pain
Only that it exists
Pain presents itself as a test
As life is its answer
I constantly ask
Just be patient says life
