Shadows and Reflection

In the midst of a Covid fever, I had flashbacks to moments I’d long forgotten. Weakened and vulnerable, I cursed their appearance. What did it mean? Why was this happening now?

As much as we think we’ve overcome, our past, I realized, there is always more. Especially for those of with PTSD.

I haven’t worked through the memories, yet. Maybe I’ll just give them a nod and let them pass on by. Maybe they’ll help me recover more understanding. I don’t know.

Shadows and reflections. Still a work in process.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. I hope you feel better soon and have no lingering effects.

    I’m sure it’s challenging dealing with Covid.

    Taking breaks can be sometimes be helpful for your overall wellbeing even when it’s forced.

    Hopefully your “down time” will be restorative and heal wounded emotions in due time.
