ON THE SUBJECT OF AN UNINVITED HEALING INTERVENTION
Copyright © 2011 James Deacon
Surreptitiously
As a thief in the night
You sought to take that which was not yours to take
Sought to deprive me of that which was mine and mine alone.
Without permission
Without the common courtesy of even bothering to ask
If your 'help' was wanted – was needed
You sought to meddle in my life-process
To disregard my right to be as I choose (for now at least) to be:
My right to own and hold and live through my own experience
My own pain.
Without consulting me
Without advising me of your intent
You sought to steal away my ailments and dis-ease:
Sought to rob me of a part of my own power
To rob me of what
I perceive to be
A Sacred learning-opportunity.
Was it out of naivety?
Or simply out of
A misguided understanding of compassion?
Or did
What you perceived as my 'suffering'
In some way offend your sensibilities?
Or was it
Perhaps
An ego-driven need
To act, to 'do': to interfere?
Did you think that you knew best
Knew what was right and timely for me?
You do not know my Soul.
You do not know my Soul's needs.
My 'condition' is part of my own Journey
Part of who I presently am.
I will evolve through it
Mindfully
Gratefully
Gracefully
In my own way
In my own time
At my own pace.
Be satisfied with this.
If only for today
Try to understand
Not everyone sees their 'condition' as something to be healed away.
“It is the struggle in life that makes Soul's strong”
