This patient was initially more sensitive than most people to my injections. She was quickly able to overcome this, and got a rebuilt shoulder for her effort. A sensitive physical therapist helped a great deal as well.
It is Springtime. New growth could still prove sensitive to more cold weather, but persistence will carry most new growth into the Summer. I liked these lines of poetry by Lidija Šimkutė:
A BIRD CALL
pierces
first flicker of light
sun hides
its gold
in the trees
HOW BEAUTIFUL
are the beginnings of things
I also like this tender, sensitive song, Winter’s Last Goodbye:
Each Spring we are gifted by three blossoming crab apple trees outside our office. The blossoms were again amazing, though their show was cut short by a brief hail storm.
Dr. Jonas Skardis
