depths

 Disability and Depression


I don't know 

which one

has been 

a bigger nemesis

Disability and therapy

Are a lifelong affair

and accepting that fact

Right now

is the most clarity

I've had yet

i can't go back

in time

Because 

Therapy 

is a one hour exercise

in letting my brain exhale

I'm just finally glad

I'm articulating this

at this moment

it's amazing 

what listening

to european football

and music

on in the background

to get me to focus

God is editing 

my brain

so I don't 

scare you

or myself

wondering

how much 

to say

or leave

to the 

imagination

the level

of despair

to which

I can go

God happens

to be

The Only One

Who forces me

into the depths

so I don't 

meet the abyss

  2. I hope that blogger lets me comment this time.
    Disability (and sometimes its incestuous cousin depression) live with me too.
    I try hard not to let them define me.
    Hugs.

  6. So thankful that God gives you this outlet to share your deep thoughts. Writing them down and getting them out of your head/heart can be therapeutic, I would think. It also helps us to know how to pray for you. May the Lord continue to strengthen and keep you day by day.

  7. Dearest Regine,
    Indeed, accepting a situation that never can get reversed is tough!
    But trusting God, is our ONLY solace and hope.
    Hugs,

  18. Deep thoughts Regine, and all part of growth - it is when you don't/won't examine your thoughts that it becomes dangerous. Acceptance of ones circumstances can be hard, but liberating.
    Stay safe
