caring for tomatoes and myself

I lovingly gazed at the fresh tomatoes I had bought. Every morning and evening I would hold each one tenderly. I would turn them around. I would check if they were turning soft.

This morning as I was checking on my tomatoes I paused. Do I do this to myself? Am I taking care of myself? Am I taking stock of myself - have I gone soft? have I turned harder?

I put on a healing piece of music. Sat Still. Closed my eyes. Just three minutes.

I thanked the Universe.

And I am back....
