April 28
Rediscovering my happy places and old friends:
Bartletās White House
Sacred Heart Hospital
Santa Barbara Police Department
Itās these places keeping me sane
Letting my head escape
And forget all I am missing.
April 29
āJust do the mile,ā I repeated
Bracing against a spring-chilled wind
āYou will feel better,ā I repeated
Shoving my weight against gusts
But when I returned
I did not feel better
And there are days, I suppose
When no matter the tools–
Walks, writing, watching–
Wallowing is the only true and restorative course of action.
