geez.

yesterday i ended up spending about 8 hours at the hospital with my friend. an accident with our rowdy dogs led to a bad fall on to her own ankle, twisted in that unnatural, heebeegeebee direction. yuck. and the x-ray confirmed two breaks.

all day at the ER. she was eventually admitted and they performed surgery this morning. pins. i'm still waiting to hear if she'll be released today. i'm glad it's nothing serious in terms of life and death but my heart goes out to her. life is so screwy sometimes. if it's not one thing, it's another- that whole bit.

she's the type of person who is always taking care of other people. always. i was glad to have the opportunity to give a little back yesterday. all i could do was stay with her while the doctors and nurses ran around and tried to make judgements and plans. my role was to just sit there and bare the horrible torture of WAITING with her.

funny how my new perspective on my art practice spilled out in to my regular every day life yesterday. patience. stillness. no rush toward anger. learning to wait and to listen with grace.
