Back Injury

My dear readers,

Update:  I am able to move around a little now but I still have an incredible amount of pain that I am dealing with.  The breathing, ice and muscle relaxers have really helped.  The pain medication has made me very ill and I decided to not take them any longer.  I still don’t know if this is a muscle injury or if this is bone related.  The most acute pain is in my lower back and my sacroiliac joint.  Thank you for your prayers and thoughts!

I have severely injured my back and am hardly able to move at the moment. I have had troubles with my sacroiliac joints for many years and I somehow re-injured them to the point of not being able to walk, sit or lie down. I am in a lot of pain and I will see if I can find some help today, if possible. I would appreciate if you would keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I will write again as soon as I am able.

Peace,

Viola

The Secret Place

In bowing, I enter into an invisible world,
a place which I call my truest home.
Here I encounter secret memories
of connections and love…
my human mind could not have known.
It is a kinship in a vast place,
the “Unknown.”
There, I whisper gentle prayers
on sacred grounds alone.

To enter this invisible world -
I am pulled with deep longing by Love -
infusing it with a pounding throb of hope.
My deeply wounded mortality lay bare -
as my truest yearnings comes to light.
In this secret, holy place,
my wounds begin to heal…
for it is here that my soul
receives a tender kiss of the Divine.
