linear progression

Today I walked out to meet a friend for a coffee and a gab. I went stickless. So slowly I've moved from one state to the next. Broken to bedbound to chairbound to housebound to crutch struggle to one crutch shuffle to walking stick to hobble.... I managed to make it there and back again pretty much upright and when the rain suddenly came slanting down I pulled back my hood, lifted my face and soaked in the sky. Nature's miracle right there on the sodden streets healing and able to walk again. Oh, I hear laughter in the rain.
Onwards.
