This is a deeply personal offering. On my 12-year path with chronic illness, I have endured a lot and have learned a lot. This poem is my journey of inner turmoil, losing hope and direction, seeking answers outside of myself, to an inner journey of self-trust in the healer within and the strength of my own spirit.
Additionally, chronic illness forced me to stop doing the things I love: dancing, hiking, working out, long walks in nature. I had always wanted to learn how to play the piano, but I never had the time. Well, if chronic illness offers one thing, it’s time. I learned how to play the piano in 2015, and this is me playing Thais Meditation in the background. It’s not a studio-quality recording, but it’s my heartfelt offering of this soulful healing piece.
