It flitters across the intersection
yellow, fragile wings
tumbling across my windshield,
caught up in the roller coaster of traffic winds,
recuperating momentarily,
then tumulted by a truck’s
sucking aftermath
on this treacherous journey
outside its comfort zone
of gently swaying flowers.
I picture the mustard stain
on asphalt, unable to assist
the helpless beauty.
But then it emerges on
the other side of the street,
and I cheer this little
meandering wonder, embracing
my own innocence and venerability,
having more luck than sense,
when I am oblivious
of my own invincible splendor.
About Jill RN
I have been a registered nurse for over 20 years working in the Trauma stepdown of LAUSC county hospital to the Heart Transplant unit at UCLA, Post partum and travel nurse. I realized that there was very little room for holistic medicine in the traditional medical field and started researching natural cures to address the whole person: Body mind and spirit. I enjoy working with people who are motivated to change their lifestyle to a more healthy and balanced one. I offer stress reduction therapies as well as unprocessed stress can also reek havoc on our body and being, True health is not complex but it takes a commitment and willingness to change old habits and create a more positive environment so the body can heal and repair. It is not an over night process, but certainty well worth the effort to achieve a lifestyle of health and wellbeing.
