Yesterday was leap day. I spent it taking care of my wife, who is recovering from a hip replacement. Her situation reminds me of the transition from Winter to Spring. Winter would be her painful determination to keep going despite the physical obstacles she was facing. Spring has just begun: the healing and slow emergence into pain free movement after surgery.
Sit still on leap day
And heal like the quiet earth
Growth comes again soon

I hope your wife’s recovery is going well. They’ve made some great advancements with hip replacements over the years.
