Ready to Admit
I have entered the slow pacing
between past long future
& present short time
embracing now gently preparing
to do less I strategize:
1 prepare studio
2 wash dishes
3 paint silk
4 cook supper
5 repurpose old clothes
from here on out
6 do laundry
7 design wearables
8 plant flowers
9 perform: The Fabric of Decay
10 weed
I have entered slow pacing
11 send out poems
12 grandkids visit
13 seek publisher
14 sweep
15 publish next anthology:
Community Connected Poetry
embracing gently walking slowly
16 clean bathroom
17 organize workshop: Defining Privilege
18 exercise
19 attend Opioid Abatement Commission meetings
20 meditate
from here on out
an end journey begins

I like how your numbered list really stands out — mundane takes like cleaning the bathroom interspersed items with items like attending and opioid abatement meeting. Indeed,”the end journey begins.”
Lotta stops on that journey, Laverne. Busy as ever. 😏
A glimpse into your journey. Thx for sharing.
Thank you for sharing
I love how the poem’s leisurely movement approximates a “slow pacing”
Love “past long future & present short time” Laverne
