Halfway

I think of all the ways we count things in life.  What is halfway to full recovery?  To be fair, halfway and three-quarter homes have other official titles: Extended Care Homes and Recovery Homes.  To be fair, we are all in recovery from something and only God knows exactly how far each of us has come.  I think this is my last internship, but of course, God only knows.

Halfway done with internship

At the halfway house.

This is one of the few times

I can say

I*m exactly halfway there.

I like the way things are named

In recovery parlance:

Halfway, three-quarter.

I wonder about what a seven-eighths home

Would look like.

So often we don*t really know

When we*ve arrived

At the destination

And who has named it

Arrival.

For today I am halfway there

Soon the weekend

Then the second half

Begins.
