Jerry would say--quite possibly will say, when next we meet--that, energetically speaking, oftentimes injuries occur because there's something we need to learn. What do I need to learn in this instance?
I've been exploring that question a lot in my drafts today. A number of things have come up, and I'm interested to see how they develop, but the summary answer to the question is another question: in what way does it serve me to mirthlessly grind activities that supposedly exist in my life to bring me joy?
