Carry On

I am learning to reappreciate life

I've always had an affinity for life but I appreciate it through a new perspective now

Lyme Disease is no thief.  It is a gift that only you can see through healing eyes

I use to wonder how such an entity could be so cruel

How something could tear you down to nothing

How everything you've ever known, could vanish

Then I realized I was looking in the wrong direction

Whether I accepted or understood it at all, I had a new normal to attend to.

I am learning to let go of what I have for so long wished to reemerge 

I am learning to recreate another past that I will one day yearn for much like I have before

I am accepting the indefinite and embracing the continuum

Lyme Disease is a gift

It is a life changing experience

What many are trying to search for, I have been given

I am forever grateful to have been given the chance to understand the capabilities of my own being

There are experiences that will happen in our life that are beyond our control

We must learn to accept and embrace them

We must let go of what no longer exists

Though my healing is not complete, I am spawning a mind that contemplates what is surely to come

In time, this will all be a memory

Even Lyme Disease use to not exist in my life much like what will come after it

And as what will come after Lyme Disease will one day be my existence, like I, Lyme Disease will carry on..
