This left me with a painful resignation, a mourning of what once was. I can't help wondering if there is just as much dignity to be found in walking. Low as it may seem to the ground, maybe it matters that we are more connected to something? In any case, it is now part of the journey and we can relearn how to navigate.

I cry for what I lost.

But I'm learning to let it go.

this was such a beautiful poem. reminds me of the fact that we can lose what we spent all of our life earning in just a single night. or something along those lines, i hope you get what i mean.
