Returning

It’s only been two weeks but feels like an age. I am adrift, askew. I have forgotten all the drill. What bowl do I use for breakfast? What goes where? I slept badly. Woke with a head after a dream about my mother. Uncomfortable. It takes time, this returning. Always. Let it be. Accept each stage, however clumsy, with grace. See what is to be learnt.
