Like a note
closed in a book
with the intention
to return
but delayed
by change,
the former pastime,
art or hobby
surfaces to salve
and ask again
if the time has come to resume.
Our reality
is part assumption,
part affirmation,
and part discovery.
We need to lead by
knowing where
those who follow want to go.
We can learn by
letting the questions
forge new explorations.
Recovery
asks for less.
A surprise compromise
makes the decision.
