Am I living
or am I just being kept alive?

Point to ponder!

it’s a constant struggle
To find a balance
I wish it was easier
But that’s why there are more casualties
Than the soldier who fights
The good fight
In some cases the checks and
Balances don’t weight out
But if you accept the challenge
And win the struggle
The pay off you’ll see
Is worth all the fight
“From one who knows
To one who question”

Thanks to our modern ideas, “living” means being a certain way, doing certain things, having certain things. So no wonder even just simply ‘living’ seems out of reach for people!

Harlon, have you read any of Annie Lamott books? They had been very healing for me. She just published “Hallelujah Anyway” and I just finished reading her “Stitches”. She writes about struggle with self acceptance, alcoholism, addiction, death, loss, connection and faith and grace after all…
Peace to you,
Kristina

Sorry posted before done. I recall my oncologist giving me the option to be given pain management or a treatment. I chose the treatment. I am glad I did.

So many wanted to live, and never had the option. It was too early, it was too late.

Everything I’ve read from you tells me you are living. And if you are also being kept alive, there is a reason. You matter.

It is an every day question for me…
without “modern” medicine I would have been long gone.
Am I a mad science experiment?
Is it “enough” to believe the medical profession’s experiences with me will help to further their knowledge and thereby help others in the future?
I am grateful for your voice Harlon- patient or not, in this moment, and hope in that small way I can help to make the next step you take, in whichever direction, (as I’ve learned to trust this voice of yours) that much easier.
