It came in the peak of summer that most optimistic time, when sunshine equates with health and bodies glow with exertion fit and in their prime - it came
with all the fury of a winter blast harsh and cold and unyielding - wrestling me from my complacency annihilating vibrancy, self-definition de-leafed, rendering me raw, exposed.
I clung to the darkness, blanketed against the harshness of light, the impossibility of sound, or scent - was de-shelled, ungrounded, ravaged by volatile nerves and misfiring impulses
praying for the certainty of death... but it is spring that follows winter and in time, restlessness set in - the dogged whine of hope willing my mind to stretch, my body to try
spirit, tired of withdrawal, pushed against the wall of dysfunction, bolstered by a shifting acceptance found roots in an unspoken faith and I felt possibility, like a tiny sprout
reaching for the sunshine, ventured out of my cocoon - still alive! Redefining purpose - still precarious, highly vulnerable but optimistic for the return of summer.
