For now: a hug not shared, hand restrained
from touching your arm, eyes searching
hidden smiles, a world apart.

Let people merge.
Open doors.
Let cars pass, let people cross.
Return your shopping cart.
Wear a mask.

Redirecting my energies
In new ways unfolding

Did Judas say "I don't care"?
Did Peter say "I don't care"?
Did Pilate say "I don't care"?
Might I say "I don't care"?
Jesus cares.

Cast yourself on God,
For God cares for and loves you
With joyful delight

'Take care'
still learning how to boldly apply to myself.

Small town care has changed.
Protected, sheltered at home.
Practice care always.

I am learning that loving God and loving others turns toxic if it doesn’t include loving me.

How do I let go of all this self-loathing?
