Counting by 7s

by Holly Goldberg Sloan

I decided any behavior, good or bad, could become routine.

So many things in life are distressing.

For someone grieving, moving forward is the challenge.

And just being there is ninety-nine percent of what matters when your world falls apart.

My edges are gone. I’m sea glass. If you look hard, you can see right through me.

It’s hard to care just a little.

The world where we live is so much in our head.

Plants (like people) thrive when there is balance.
