It's gone.
You know,
that expectation
of what might be.
Ruined by
a harsh slap
across the face,
the slam
into the wall,
the kick
while your down.
I'm just going to
lay here for awhile.
I can see
the sunlight
under the door,
shadows move around me,
a breeze blows
through the window,
curtains flutttering.
The cat curls up
beside me
on the floor,
unaware
of my bruised
and battered body,
a peaceful warmth
against my skin.
Soon there's silence
in my head
and a sigh
escapes my lips,
anger builds,
and tears
begin to fall.
What keeps me down,
my future unknown?
What could be worse
than letting
my fear
cripple me?
The cat scurries away
as I pick myself up
off the floor.

Before I had PD I never expected to go to Africa.
Now I have climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Before I had PD I never expected to bike across Iowa.
Now I've done it twice.
Before...I hardly knew where Nepal was.
Now I'm ready to climb to Annapurna base camp.
Problem or opportunity?
Half empty? Half full?
The only regrets I'll have is when I have an opportunity and don't take it.

I found this, once again, compelling reading and could see a picture in my mind.

You paint the canvas well--I see myself crumpled on the floor.
