Health, as it is commonly understood, is a
surface notion lacking in both depth and truth, (in so far as it is not
recognized as merely one face of the myriad
of possibilities that life has to offer us) .
Illness, on the other
hand, unmasks...if we are willing to look long, directly, and deeply
enough...both horror, and, SO much more importantly, Wonder. It is the
marriage of these seeming opposites that results in the great gift of
aliveness and solemnity, that arrives fully formed when vitality
returns.
I honor your prayer for understanding with a vigorous,
Hallelujah!, as both my heart, and soul, tremble with deep realization.
I am altered beyond recognition, no longer constantly lost in the
brambles of the "me", and, surprisingly, despite my continuing to live a
very solitary existence, "we" beckons at every turn and around every
corner.
This "we" is not so much a physical, emotional, or even actual
phenomena, but rather an intense sensation of quite grounded liberation.
I met death's gaze and saw reflected therein, the freedom of Being. (posted upon recovering from life threatening illness which began 7/10/15 and resolved 9/15/15)
