January 29th

Day 29 — Today was quite likely the coldest day of our winter so far.  – 26° C for a high.  Brr!  But, I am grateful for Command Start — I didn’t have to run outside to start my car during the day.  Others did — I pitied them.

No Pity

 

I am a very proudful person, she said

So much so, that I have lost my sight.

Now, as I stumble in the darkness

I wonder: what good is this silly pride

I cling to?  The bruises on my heart

and on my body are not badges

Of honour, they mark me as a fool.

I, who would not bend

Am broken.  Had only my hearing

also been taken I would

Not have to suffer your pity.
