When
life
gets you
down
improvise
as if
crawling
was part of
the choreography
Iveta Cherneva

I am counting down
for two appointments
to hear
about maybe
operations
to help me
getting on my feet again
for long that seemed
a bad scenario
but I turned around
and now All I hope
is for a miracle
I visualise
a future
with less or no pain
and being able to go
EVERYWHERE
for now
I make little things
I can do
sitting on my couch
and I muse
about
happy things

Oh my dear, dear friend, I will pray right NOW that you will hear good news about HELP. For the mean time, use what you DO HAVE and continue to write. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! Do you remember a quote I shared a while back from the famous Martin Luther King? "If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk then crawl. Whatever you do, JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD." Even for those of us who can physically get about, sometimes we come to a HALT in our lives. It is then that we are at a point of being artists. Look at this wonderful poem by Wendell Berry:
BeantwoordenVerwijderen"THE REAL WORK" -
It may be that when we no longer know what to do that we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings."
Love. Anita
This is why I love blogging my friend; through creative communication, we connect through our interests, only to find that what really matters is the person on the other end. Hm....that just may be my next post.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe all walk what seems to be a lonely journey. And it is to an extent. But somewhere out there, and inside of us, is a companion that sticks closer than a brother or sister. My prayer this morning as I was watering my plants under the stars (it was still dark!) I said a prayer for you. I prayed that you would find that answer inside of YOU. And I trust that you will.
Listen to the "impeded stream" that sings. XOXOXOXO Anita
Hi and it sounds like help is on the way for your situation and how inspiring just how marvelous that you are finding ways to still create, even from the sofa! I commend your fervor of life and pray that measures are successful with your feet and when you walk as you did, your steps will include an even more spring of gratitude. Blessings to you!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI too make little things now.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI find things I can pick up quickly and throw down just as quickly when Lulu does something naughty.
Francis,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI do hope that something can be done for the pain that you are having. I don't like to see people in any discomfort. Hopefully, you will get the answers that you want to hear.
Just wanted to say that your blog is such a joy for me every time I come and visit.
Love,
~Sheri
Lieve Francis,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk hoop dat de operatie er komt en jij je leven weer op kunt pakken. Ik zal voor je duimen!
Sterkte & succes,

Oh sweet friend..I love that quote! I say go for it!! I think anything that can help ease your pain and be hopeful about the future is something to jump at. Sending you my love always. I will pray that you will have this option. xoxo
