Note: On June 23,
I made the following entry in my journal:
And now it's time.
Today, a moment of clarity:
Why am I living like this?
Enough pain.
Enough limitation.
I am ready.
Funny how such a physical issue
is also a spiritual one:
Faith, trust,
release, hope,
acceptance, peace.
This letting-go,
this backward-falling--
an act of faith.
One waits to catch me,
receive me,
sustain me.
That One walks beside me,
feels each spasm,
each period of relief,
each added loss,
each small victory.
It's time.
We are ready.
