A Poem — Which I Don’t Do…..

Yesterday was tumultuous.

Traveling makes me anxious.

Post covid there are so many loops and up and downs.

The plane is too cold.

I need to sleep.

I can’t eat or drink.

I’m not a world traveler for many reasons.

I like the ground.

Maybe that’s the Capricorn in me.

My first day anywhere

no matter the time of arrival has to be spent grounding myself.

I walk

Alone

I put my hands in water.

Touch trees.

I breathe

All the anxiety away.

I eat a little.

I bathe in the sun

I allow myself to smile at those that smile at me.

I free myself

I find myself

Grounded.
