Return So many rounds breaking apart coming together could be feelings or aging— similar weather messy, sloppy, painful The turn between unraveling and regathering may seem glacially slow Weeks of using a cane three different pills for pain Friends are kind but I face this alone Then this morning, a change felt inside before anything seen A note, now noticed of coming together
Thank you! I'm a "fighter" in the positive sense of the word. I had to get my head and heart wrapped around the fact there are some physical changes that may be permanent--knee brace, cane, spinal epidurals with some regularity, some medication. But I can drive again, which is huge. I've learned that pain can be lonely. No one else can experience what I am going through. My own resources and spiritual training are key. I can hear my mother say, "buck up."
Pain can be and is lonely. An inner experience no one can truly join us in, but praise that we have some folks alongside us. I'm glad you can drive again, and that you are still writing as you come to terms with a new reality. May all your endurance relent into ease.
So glad you felt a shift! In puppy class yesterday, loose leash walking, our golden plops down, no movement. The teacher shows us how to turn around with the leash long, and then Daisy starts to walk again.
That quiet shift inside happens just when the body feels most alone, Didi. It brings so much peace to hear that the regathering has finally started for you.
Sending big love and heartfelt prayers.
Welcomed, thank you, Joyce!
Prayers for further healing my friend <3

The unraveling, the regathering, the relief of "a note, now noticed / of coming together." Wonderfully done, Amrita!
Thank you!
Happy for you to feel this change Amrita, this coming together.
