MOON BULLETIN - slow down!
It’s the end of October in New York, and I’ve been spending my days with my leg up a wall, strapped to an ice pack, trying desperately to accelerate the healing process of a foot injury before halloween. My chances of success are unlikely, but I’ll still try! Sometimes, life just forces you to slow down, even when you really don’t want to. But if I can hardly fit my foot in my shoe, I probably shouldn’t be going! As we move into late autumn, the leaves continue to drop, the persimmons ripen, the ginkgos begin to yellow. Life is slowing down, or starting to, and so I’m trying to see this injury as a chance to listen in. Even if it’s really messing with my ability to do so many of the things I love. Like these events, coming up. I’m hoping to be at all of them, but the foot might keep me at bay… we will just have to see.
