one giving in


giving in
does not necessarily equal
caving in

giving in
may mean surrendering your will
because this script is not yours after all

giving in
may mean accepting the challenges and changes
being given to you

my pd diagnosis
was a major wake-up call for me
which shook up and re-sorted my priorities

if you knew you only had one day left here
what would you do with it?

today is all we really have
this is where the gift is


to denial


these instants
being in the moment
taking time to smell the roses
are the closest to eternity we can manage
this side of the time and space divide

they can be enough

i discovered today
that eating an ice cream cone
forces one of those moments on me

butterscotch ripple
bright sunshine
swallow songs
cool wind
peace
