Watching
I must be a little outside of my feelings, or even perhaps really inside of them.
The daily journey to the hospital is surreal. I float above and watch my human body walking into hospital drama.
Having a 30 year history as a nurse I know a bit about what the human mind goes through in ICU and extended stays in the hospital. There are stages, they even have names.
And this is my friend who now realizes that he was somewhat of a guinea pig for student Drs. to operate on. It is, after all, a teaching hospital and this is how you learn, by practicing on patients.
I see him daily awaken back into physical reality from the altered induced state by drugs of present time. There is sometimes a look on his face of oh my god, what did I do?
And now he is taking back his power and I am cooking all of his meals, good healing, organic, it’s what I do.
Daily trek to his room loaded with baskets of freshly steamed veggies, miso soups, digestive teas and herbs etc.
At this point he doesn’t know what will happen but he isn’t ready to leave just yet.
I thought you might like an update.
Shalom/Peace

Each of us having unique experiences in life can offer to help in various ways. As stated above from Sue, she has many experiences of helping and loving, clearly the cooking arena and unconditional love for her friend is something I am hoping all of us can learn from. What are our gifts in all areas of live?
Why do we hold onto these gifts and not share them with others when we KNOW FOR SURE the time is right for us to do so. Why do we busy our lives sooooo much that when we encounter something such as this we tell ourselves we don’t have the time? I can and have been guilty of this during my life and this is something I am in the process of changing for the better. This might be only for a few hours a week but if you stop and think about all those others that want to participate in this kind of healing, all those people and all those few hours can add up to a full time scenerio of helping someone heal physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I actually have been throug life threatening illness and experiencing all those wonderful souls a few hours at a time was and still is something I cherish today. thank you again to all those who played a part in helping me recover until I could walk again.
Can I help in someway with you on this Sue?
