The dream of a summer.
One late winter night in the dark there was a pain in my body & I could hardly get up. a disc herniation.I've shouted & cried with pain in my lower back & here my life got completely turned upside down.I became wretched & wholly dependent on help in my life & for my pain- & I became fearful in my heart- many doubting thoughts & truly many & afraid.Nothing was like before & I crawled in & out of bed - I became ugly in myself - in my thoughts - so ugly & couldn't find my anchorIn myself but fell into fear & shame - because I could do nothing.
Then May came & showed the way to a summer & with words of comfort from my friend & help from friends I saw the light that is coming.I didn't get the scent of blooming lilacs & this is normally the most beautiful thing for me - because then I know a summer is coming....I love lilacs that come in a long long awaited summer… & I have dreamed of a summer.Being in sorrow & missing - I have experienced again and again to teach my heart to rise above this, to let the small experiences rise and let them rise...
This half year has given & struck many shards - now there will be more beautiful dreams... dreams of colors & sun in a sky with depth that will bring a late summer with trees that stand with chestnuts & leaves that must wither before the end of the year.

I am happy to see & feel it coming.
