Different things

I am sitting at my volunteer counseling place.  Client number 1 cancelled.  I wait for client number 2.  I was driven here by my beloved.  I will walk the streets of Wheaton and Glen Ellyn when I am done here, probably my clients will be among those with whom I walk.  Still learning as I go.

Once again

I pay attention

To different things.

I walk,

See the people who walk

With me.

I discover

Renewed vision,

Realize the blur

Of fluorescent lights.

I notice the comfort

Of indirect daylight.

I take things

In stages,

Read accounts of those

Whose challenges

Are so much more

Than mine,

Those who walk

All the time,

Those who see

The corners of things,

Have to extrapolate

The rest.

Once again I see

Different things.

They remind me of things

I did not learn as fully

Before.
