Feeling: Hurt
You may feel sharp, throbbing, or dull sensations signaling that a part of you needs care. Pain can focus attention where healing or rest is required. The capacity to feel physical pain is widely viewed as a universal adaptation protecting organisms from further harm.
Poem reflection
"Of many reasons I love you here is one
the way you write me from the gate at the airport
so I can tell you everything will be alright
so you can tell me there is a bird
trapped in the terminal all the people
ignoring it..."
- Craig Arnold
