These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

I'm falling
Okay, typical guy.
There was a buildup of ice on the roof. I went up a ladder to chop away some big icicles. A big chunk broke away, hit me, knocked me off the ladder. I fell about 10-12 feet, hit the snow-covered walkway.
Bruises and cuts. Swelling at wrist. Painful bruise under thumbnail. The worst is my left knee. Hard to get up or down from chairs/the couch. Slow walking, uncomfortable to stand. Fortunately, I'm off work this week.
I'm waiting to see if the pain continues; if so, I'll go to the immediate care place for an x-ray.
Didn't tell the wife. She worries a lot, voices it frequently. If she knows I fell, she'd never let me forget it.
Typical guy.
Pax et bonum
