Please tell me what it means.
My dog is injured and I suffer along with him. He limps. I limp. He endures stoically. I endure for my sanity. The circumstances implore us to do less, letting the cold stillness heal the strain deep within our weary bodies, hearts and minds. My dog and I both know to be alive is to be kinetic. Yet we must trust this stillness to somehow let us know when we may jump again.
