A Welcoming Roar
In every second there is a moment
In every moment there is a heartbeat
Within every heartbeat the next moment lives
Lava comes and goes
As our world
Continues to flow
There is a soft edge
To every hard stone
All the world is green
Along my soul’s causeway
The trees rustling voices
Are nature’s welcoming roar
Ivor Steven (c) August 2022

These days we’re told that movement is better than bed rest, but I’ve always found more relief from bed rest than walking around. I wish you well. 🙂

My Physio told me, rest, heat, and exercises … the exercises are sore to do … “but no gain without pain” .. 🤗😉

We’re all different aren’t we with our various types of back pain – the best thing ever for my back was when the physio massaged it, seemed a bit sore at the time, but the movement immediately afterwards was so much easier. 🙂
