When I Recover
When I recover from ALS
I’m going to be careful
Not to fall into the old patterns,
Not to mistake my opposite
for my truth,
Not to forget what saved me…
Ever!
Not to forget!
When I recover from ALS
By then I will be free
I will know
and at the same time
not know
And I will be okay.
When I recover from ALS
I will be new
And ancient.
Knowledge will live in me,
but will rest peacefully,
And I shall discover life,
but my source will never fade again.
When I recover from ALS
I may not know how,
but I will have no doubt why.
Not from medicine,
Not from some other being
with claims to move and balance energy.
Not from the external world,
will my saving come.
The ability lies within.
Only I and my creator can know my energy
and how it should be balanced.
Only I and my creator know the truth
of how this dis-ease came to be in me.
And only my creator can lead me safely,
And only I can listen,
And only I can follow.
When I recover from ALS
I will not untune myself again.
I will love the beauty of my own world,
and seek not in the current of the racing world.
I will breathe long and deeply
and not hold in anything.
I will know my place, my meaning,
and finally my peace,
When I recover from ALS.
