SWB: Discomfort and comfort


Image found at Max Ackerman

Discomfort is the way the things I avoid, push past the boundaries I try to restore.
Comfort is dinners with friends through all time with platters of cookies and a glass of good wine.

Discomfort is wanting for what I don't have and
comfort is knowing what I have is already grand.

Discomfort pushes me to grow like a mile uphill,
comfort is the running shoe that holds my arch still.

Discomfort and comfort, I need them both.
One to console and one to press on.
While discomfort is a challenge, comfort gives me hope.
