We are so much alike. No wonder I love the way you think, Joy.
Oh Lyn, that sounds horridly painful. Though what you are going through now is probably just as much or worse. Thinking positive thoughts for you and hoping you will heal completely.
I never used to think about my footing but with the injuries I've had I do note what is around me. And I avoid ladders since I missed the step and crashed to the ground. I broke both feet, and damaged L-4. It took me quite a while to recover.
I don't agree with Dalai Lama either, because if everything was perfect we wouldn't grow or appreciate what we have.
Prompt:
Take any cliche and subvert it to bring it alive again in a poem or a blog entry.

Bag of Bones
They said, "This baby, a bag of bones!"
and rattled, "She may not even throw stones"
a bag of bones, where my shadow lies
World War II, macabre with gray skies.
But dreams I've built and spells I've cast,
I charted my course, battled the past.
Alas, today, other lines are drawn,
fears of war wail from dusk to dawn.
Although people speak in whispers low,
in death's embrace, demons can grow.
So, this bag of bones sways and waits...
as, just one click, next war dictates.
Such a shame it is, to undo the seams!
Or let's mend the world, guard our dreams?
I hold my breath and hear the moans
and warnings from all bags of bones.
