LIFE'S RICH TAPESTRY ...
LIFE'S RICH TAPESTRY ...
To All My Dear Friends, Especially Those With M.E. And Other Severely-Life-Restricting Chronic Illnesses
With severe chronic illness,
Our Life expectations
Undergo a paradigm shift ...
We have to rely on simple things ...
To make us happy ...
To give us a lift ...
For me, last night it was ...
Reasonable pain
A shower ...
And skin that didn't itch
...
...Home-made soup ...
Organic bread ...
A little "easy" TV
....
Isn't life rich... ....
...If I could only add to this ...
A warming port
...
...Or a chilled white wine ...
Then mine would be "the earth
And everything in it"* ...
...And Life would be ...
Clearly ...
...Very nearly ...
...Sublime
(* from "If" by Rudyard Kipling)
