Sorry to hear you're still dealing with nerve pain! Grateful you're able to write! Lovely poem! Your " country" reminds me of a few of my own lines about living in a "country" where..."Love's the leader, poems are passports, and every breath's a citizen."

What fantastic metaphors! I'm working to develop more in my work.

Yes, luckily my desk setup is very ergonomic, and I'm comfortable here. So much to be grateful for.

Beautiful. And I've never heard that from the Dalai Lama. It's perfect, because that means the world is my country, which is how I always thought it should be. I have friends who love me everywhere. And I love them.

Sounds like a good mantra to work with.

‘Nerve pain, go away! Come again some other day.’

maybe NOT "Come again some other day" !! But will see. The important thing is my spirits are good.
