Re: Ways to lower Inflammation? Broke my Ankle
What happened, Joe? If that's not too prying..
(I am feeling so much, these days that the trauma of a situation replaying, at a subconscious level, has a huge effect on us, apart from anything physical we might do to help it heal..)
As you might know my companion broke his hip awhile ago, (june 13) and my son got hit by a taxi, earlier this summer, and just found out he's had whiplash from that...he was on his bycicle. (fault of the taxi).
Ah, I see so many people suffering everyday, now that I go to rehab to visit my partner...I've seen many people come and go from his room (of four). Today, a new man, and new fear, pain, so much stuff that is beyond the ability of the 'rehab' to deal with. (not only a broken bone, but cancer...and a wife who lives too far away to come to visit, so there is this tremendous aloneness. ) And then the baby daughter of a friend/work-mate of my partner's just passed away--The poor little soul had been in and out of hospital since her birth, with complicated asthma etc.
She just got sicker.. Was hardly even a year old. I cannot imagine the level of sorrow--and stress for her parents...
I'm not trying to bring you down, (or point out my own issues, because I/we feel currently very fortunate, and we are), but I do feel we wash the heart, when we can weep, for real, or in some heartfelt way, for others.
Let us (let us all reading this) pray for one another, each in our own ways, shall we? I don't know that we're really on this earth to do much more than forgive and release everyone, for every imagined slight or offense or suffering perceived--let's do this so that not one is 'left behind'. To be some kind of instrument of Peace and Love, whatever shape or form that service takes,can there be any other reason to get up? To love and care for one's cats...
To see a dead bird and pray for its essence to be released and at peace. One feels lucky to have walked this path, to come upon this opportunity to serve--which is,in the ned, entirely Self-serving.But that's the glorious thing!!!
:-)
In that regard--I saw a woman cleaning, in the basement of the rehab who smiled like an angel, and just spoke a few words of kindness to us, and she became one of the healing elements of a whole difficult day. I felt/feel such a deep respect for her...
When people hurt themselves, ( and I mean no 'blame', nor do I see victimsor 'perps'), I sense they are in a place of wanting to 'let go', and let go of the walls and whatever they may have hit, physically and symbolically.
Nothing much matters more than Love.
take care!
