Today, I am grateful for
A list
The privilege I hold of forgetting about inhumanity for a few hours.
The ability to question established modus operandi.
The steaminess of my bathing water.
The turbulence of a few heartbeats.
The unfolding of gaping doors.
The blooming of my backbone.
The late goodbyes that caress the dimple of my cheeks.
The traces left by the humans who recently shared my path.
The beings who have journeyed through my peaks, stumbles and falls.
The barely audible humming of the dishwasher.
All of who I am right now,
and who I will be as the world continues to turn.
And you, what are you grateful for today?
