LIFE'S RICH TAPESTRY ...

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)
