Passing Illness

        “Whatever condition we are in, we must always do what we want to do, and if we want to go on a journey, then we must do so and not worry about our condition, even if it's the worst possible condition, because, if it is, we're finished anyway, whether we go on the journey or not, and it's better to die having made the journey we've been longing for than to be stifled by our fear.”  

 

“Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. I have known so many sick women all my life. Women with chronic pain, with ever-gestating diseases. Women with conditions. Men, sure, they have bone snaps, they have backaches, they have a surgery or two, yank out a tonsil, insert a shiny plastic hip. Women get consumed.“


 

Breathe deeply. Sniffle. 

Cough. Tickle. Smolder.

Sleep and Rest.

Dreamscapes surreal.

Prayer to The Beloved,

Peace, Health, Happiness and Prosperity.
