The Covid test came back positive on Saturday afternoon.  Lovely people in my life stepped forward with their support.

I talked about how important it was for me to write during this, to stay connected beyond the walls of my apartment.

Friend Number One:

Give yourself a break and focus on recovery!

My response:

Hmm … maybe I won’t write tomorrow.

Tomorrow is now today.  I realize that the writing is part of the healing.  And so this post.  Sleeping is another part.  I’ll go there once the words peter out.

I wrote about contacting folks whom I’d seen before getting the test result.

Friend Number Two:

Your care translates to action, so rare in this world and so beautiful.  Love in action is everything.  Be well and heal soon my friend.

My response:

Thank you for your kind words, ...  I need to serve in action, yes.  The world needs this.

If I did harm to others, I would get a lot sicker than I am now … spiritually.

Friend Number Three:

That is too bad.  Be gentle on yourself and let the healing unfold.  Get well soon Bruce!

My response:

Thank you, …  I love the image of my healing unfolding … like a flower.

Slow and steady.  It’s not a race.

Ahh … my words are ending

Time for the covers up to my chin

Good afternoon
