recovery indicates that an injury has occurred.
pain has interrupted the ability to move forward.
activity has come to an abrupt, unplanned, devastating
end.
ALL has been lost.
any athlete who hears the words,
"the next step is to recover" really hears it's time to start over...
or quit.
because starting over this late in the season is ridiculous,
whatever you are working on to recover,
isn't
going
to
happen
in time
at least not in time to be rewarded by anything of value.
it certainly won't be newsworthy.
recovery begins with a decision.
recovery insists that rest is necessary.
recovery requires complete trust in others...specifically another who isn't even participating in the activity at your skill level, and that the one you put your trust in made that very decision before you - to "quit"
to become...
a trainer.
recovery follows the slowest, longest, most narrow healing path in existence.
recovery asks you to be on the sidelines... to watch.
recovery encourages you to believe in your self.
recovery suggests that you face the fear that brought you to this place.
recovery means, losing it ALL,
again
...to be fully restored, made new, given sight, heard, seen,
deeply known.
