in the quiet of my soul, a war unfolds, mind and body, two stories told. my mind whispers with a fervent plea, but my body hums a melody. “ignore the mind,” my body cries, “feel the truth beneath the skies. […]

garden of perpetuity…

in the garden of perpetuity,   where time unfolds perpetually,   there lies a hidden stream of perspicacity,   clear and bright in its perspicuity. endless are the days in this vast expanse,   where moments cascade, seamless, unending.   wisdom flows like water, crystalline,   […]

all i can say is “wow!”

another birthday… another year! and therefore another milestone! you see, if i had believed what the doctors were saying at the time of my first diagnosis, trust me… i’d be long gone! 6 to 11 months was all the time […]

echoes of revelation…
