Surreptitiously
As
a thief in the night
You
sought to take that which was not yours to take
Sought
to deprive me of that which was mine and mine alone.
Without
permission
Without
the common courtesy of even bothering to ask
If
your 'help' was wanted – was needed
You
sought to meddle in my life-process
To disregard my right to
be as
I choose (for
now at least) to
be:
My
right to own and hold and live through my own experience
My
own pain.
Without
consulting me
Without
advising me of your intent
You
sought to steal away my ailments and dis-ease:
Sought
to rob me of a part of my own power
To
rob me of what
I perceive to be
A
Sacred learning-opportunity.
Was
it out of naivety?
Or
simply out of
A
misguided understanding of compassion?
Or
did
What
you perceived as my 'suffering'
In
some way offend your sensibilities?
Or
was it
Perhaps
An
ego-driven need
To
act, to 'do': to interfere?
Did
you think that you knew best
Knew
what was right and timely for me?
You
do not know my Soul.
You
do not know my Soul's needs.
My
'condition' is part of my own Journey
Part
of who I presently am.
I
will evolve through it
Mindfully
Gratefully
Gracefully
In
my own way
In
my own time
At
my own pace.
Be
satisfied with this.
If
only for today
Try
to understand
Not
everyone sees their 'condition' as something to be healed away.
“It
is the struggle in life that makes Soul's strong”
