Raiders of the Lost Spark

‎”The truest test of civilization, culture, and dignity is character not clothing.” – Mahatma

“I have the strength to remain calm in the face of change.” – Louise L. Hay

I think about that line often now… from Ram Dass’ Still Here Now. Whether or not it’s fibromyalgia or something else (I will say “else” as opposed to “worse”), it seems I have been given the gift of a different perspective. Having difficulty walking, having to ask for help, tripping and falling in public… I need to look within to find the grace I am lacking in my physical body. Although I do wish things were different, having acceptance of my now is going to make it easier to live, not merely exist.
