Nine Year Milestone!
In the middle of the Ocean
tiny little vessel
i keep sailing towards the deep turbulent
open waters on my life's personal journey. .
There have been small waves, huge waves,
stormy skies, dark nights of tears and despair
silent weeping in the grip of fear
or total surrender to an end
looking so frightfully and unavoidably near.
Nine years!...
since my sudden engagement with Death
and yet i am still here!!!
This is a very significant milestone for me.
If champagne is the modern symbol of celebration
and if i could drink a glass of it, perhaps i would
not so much for the length of time
which in itself is near unbelievable
but for the many many happy events
i was fortunate to witness, be part of
and enjoy throughout this time.
So instead of champagne
with a Fruity Juicy Sweet Mango
i will mark and celebrate:
"The unexpectedly rich and merciful past
(despite its roller coaster ups and downs)
and the unknown yet somewhat optimistic near future!"
Nine Years! ...
Nine extraordinary years considering the circumstances
and way beyond the initial grim announcement
of " 2-5 years maximum!..."
It has taken a lot of strife and sacrifices in every area of my life
and no doubt there will be many more along the way
but it is satisfactory to see that the exchange
has been Life!
Despite Life's difficulties, personal shortcomings and ignorance
in this area which remains still largely untreatable
and very little under control by the specialists
i believe that with the help of Mother Nature's miraculous fruits
i must have been doing Some things Right all along
and this for me is a Personal Triumph
and the only acknowledgement and Trophy for it
is My Life Here and Now...among the Living!
Now!....where is that Mango!!!
