When a ballerina fears she will one day not be able to walk. She must remember her strength as she pushed her body to the limits when she was younger. Remember the discipline and the drive to make one more show a standing ovation. With that experience she can use everyday to keep her legs strong. And that is what I have been doing... There is a lot going on with my bones, at night after a resting position in bed it is hard to stand and walk. But I tell myself to keep walking, keep moving. This picture is a reminder no matter what I must keep going even if I need a crutch or a walker. ⭐My heart tells me l will be okay and this to will pass. The standing ovation I will receive will be the longest... ⭐🎬🎭
THE QUESTION
Wind whistle, rain spittle,
Head down, nature belittles.
Vanity stands in every man
Who holds his life
Within his borrowed heart.
Hand held. Mind grown.
Travelling far —
Worn father to youthful son.
We’ve run through a million suns.
Starting from nothing,
Purpose unknown.
Against eternity mankind is thrown.
We follow the wire, tense and tight.
Few look down, for they fear flight.
Against nature we fight:
Her devious, tempestuous tricks
That steal our lost souls.
Would you lift the stone,
Looking within to ask who you are?
In a single question
That may have no answer,
Eternity and nature
Will bow low with respect.
It is the question that is the key.
The asking is the door
That will set you free
To simply be.
