I whisper
for help
as lesions
of doom betray
my former
life plans.
Fellow
travelers
on my life’s
unforeseen path
grant
community.
The sadness
of loss
experienced and
to come
becomes
bearable.

Research shows that, “in all cultures, the conviction that one’s predicament is hopeless may cause or hasten disintegration and death.” [Jerome and Julia Frank, Persuasion and Healing] The tools available to me to fight this disease are limited. Could it be that keeping hope alive is the strongest weapon in my arsenal?

I get soo happy when I see one of your Haikus in my blog feed
I’m not posting on my blog anymore - instead I have a book blog in Danish.
The MS has forced me to work less hours - that gives me more hours to read
Many thoughts and prayers your way from little Denmark
Hi Judy - I too so love when I see you surface from the depths of your truth. I haven't been posting. I read others. With hope for us all
Love Gail
peace.....
Anne, it’s always a delight to find a message from you. I’m sorry MS is challenging you. Good luck!
Gail, and I love to see you when I surface. I hope I can remain above water longer this time. But MS and personal life are still a challenge. Poetry, though, is always a joy. I hope I can continue to share it with all of you.
Ahh Judy, good to see you here. I am not posting on my blogs much. MS has been challenging me as well.
Karen, so great to see you too. You're part of the community which makes the unbearable MS experience anything resembling bearable. Thank you for that. I wish you and your family well.
Bearable is a great description of those times we go through! Glad to visit here. I feel I have had cog fog or plain busy
Thanks for visiting, Kim. We are all affected by cog fog, I would guess.
I love it Judy.
Thanks for inspiring me, Nicole. In every sense of the word.
