trying to see the promise of new life
hard when everything feels like hell
again today
these tiny leaves are new this week
on the Japanese maple
i will watch them each day as they
turn towards the sun
and await their full glory
as i await just even a glimmer
of a feel good day.....

spring is coming... it's soon... and you'll be done soon too... it's not so long now...spring is coming...it can't be held back...it will be here soon!...each day is another day closer!!
Yes, it is very hard to dwell in the pit of pain and fatigue and lonliness and struggle. There is no doubt that this is a difficult journey. It is hard to hope day after day that the next day will be better, easier only to have hope dashed away for yet another day. Sometimes the best that we can do is to survive, to breathe in and breathe out. Sometimes we must use all of our energy to hang onto one breath of hope despite the overwhelming weariness of it all. Sometimes we must just be.
I hope that at any moment you will feel the single breath of hope against your face or in your heart. Until then...breathe in, breathe out. You remember...you taught me how to do it. :-)
