The exercise:

Write about: the placebo.

Took the family into town this morning to get Max some new shoes for his ever expanding feet. I don't know if you've ever gone shoe shopping with a toddler, but it's quite the experience. At least it was for us.

Max refused to walk when the salesperson was within sight, so it was quite the process of trying on shoes, getting the guy selling them to us to hide, and then getting Max to walk in them to see how well they worked.

Thankfully we found something that worked on the third try. Otherwise we might still be there now.

Mine:

Placebo:
The triumph
Of mind over body.

The story
Of perception
Conquering reality.

Take your pill,
Quiet your doubts,
Believe with all your heart.

Just relax,
Know it works,
And let the healing start.
