When you realise you've spent 10 minutes explaining to your dog how he's an important part of my family and how much he is loved.
I seem to talk to Sprocket alot, I always assumed he understands the sentiment more than the words.
#GoingSoft
5 mile walk and my knee is fooked, I’d usually do the terrain at Gibside no problem but today was hard on my knee! #GettingOld #GoingSoft
Choosing Softness I wanted to be hard A rough spot rubbed to a callus, Heart impermeable And head airtight. Face straight, feet planted Elbows out and ready to jab. A cold stone in my palm Might soothe But the kiss of a gift Melts my volition, Puts a song in my head That reminds me to go soft. Once again, I resign To open my fist Once again, I decide And reach for your hand.
It's that tender, turned on feeling I get when I let in the soft thoughts. Even when it's illogical, vulnerability is brave.
