half a glass....
However... I'm struck by the question: "Is the glass half empty, or half full?"
If all you're gonna do is look at it, it's a complete waste. Fill it, drink it, both... if you don't use something... who cares how much of it you have??
Saw G.I. Joe, yesterday. Snake-Eyes is my favorite character. I loved the conversation around him near the beginning:
"what's his story?"
"He doesn't speak."
"why?"
"He never says."
How does he tie into the glass? ...it's not how much power you have... it's what you do with it that counts. [or don't do with it, which is how Snake-Eyes & Jesus fit together for me -I'll explain later]
Have a wonderful month.

A living room lead…
Living room sanctuary
I crawl down there
Hands & knees
Scramble onto the couch
Sunglasses on
Even though the sun can’t properly get in
A living room prison?
…not really,
A living room
Sanctuary, perhaps
I stay on the couch
Immobile for a while
Bothered that I cannot do anything
Never thinking that, for some,
This has been true for years
And will be
For the rest of their life
Stuck
Inside
But I’m just stuck till I feel better
Here with You
As I wait out the dizziness
When the room stops spinning
I can start to venture out again
Or at least try to be on my feet again
And, at last I am
Ready to venture out into worlds unknown
I’m so glad that this chapter in my story is long over… That I can go out & hike, or take pictures, or just take a long drive [Sat. morning was wonderful…]
