When you’ve had
a week
filled with
vivid reminders
about just how much
of life
you have absolutely
no control over
it can be
therapeutic
to find a place
where
you do
have some control
even if it means
that after an hour
or two
on your knees
you’ve only changed the color
of three rows
of kitchen tiles
and you decide to save
the rest
for another day
or week
still
an hour on your knees
an hour of stripping away the junk
an hour of bringing back the life
an hour of seeing
and making
an actual, real live difference
can be
so
worth it.
