a really simple post tonight - just this picture of me tending the scar on my knee after a long day of moving my stuff. this scar is kind of amazing, you know? it marks an experience from the dreaded 2011 (in my case,
a bike accident), but it also responds to the present. when i get lots of sleep and eat well, it sits flush against my skin in a happy shade of pink. on the other hand, if i'm doing lots of running around and generally being a hummingbird, it swells and turns into an angry purple worm. and it stays that way until i give my body the rest it needs. really interesting...feels like some sort of built-in barometer. and maybe also a reminder that mending is not a linear thing?
