An Agile Survivor

I was fine

Then it seems I wasn’t

What happened?

Seems I forgot

Then I remembered

Okay – now what?

My quirks began to make sense

to me, my family and friends

Am I irreparably damaged?

No, no I’m not

but there are limitations

They don’t define me

but it’s hard and confusing

to understand what that really means

Acceptance, self-compassion

understanding

So now what?

I work on healing

exploring new ways to live

within my limitations

Knowing the skeleton hands

may come and go

stress and health

ebb and flow, sometimes taking away hours

teaching me to notice the gift of perfect moments

of  breath, peace, and exhaled contentment

I wasn’t fine

Now I am – at this moment

I recognize and I’m grateful for impermanence

What happened?

I live the potential

embrace the possibility

and embody compassionate healing

I become who I am ~ who I always was

not broken, not fragile
