Transition

[poliphilo]

 I cut the grass. Or, rather, I cut some of the grass and then the lawnmower fell apart. 

So we went out and bought a new one.

The old one was a push mower- no motor of any kind- and the new one is electric with a cord. I had a bad hour or two mulling over what this transition said about my physicality but then I shrugged and succumbed. 

I'm not learning anything I didn't know but there's some part of me- the ego perhaps- that doesn't want to admit to the world that I'm growing weaker, tireder, less resilient.....
