“I knelt in the forest to pray for I was lost and alone.
My spirit swelled and I felt His light and I was found….” by Lila Byrd
Over the years I have lived with the jumble of mixed matched illness and symptoms, I have had to fight
one battle after the other to have the right treatments for me medically, emotionally and spiritually. I have
found that people can selflessly give an abundance of compassion, understanding and assistance. Those are
the times that I try to cherish and hold onto during the not so great other times, for there are others that are
not so kind and take pleasure in causing more pain. I try to keep those as far and few between as I can. It can
be sort of hard to do when that hard-nosed, judgemental and stinkin’ thinkin’ person is none other than …ME …
I’ve lived this way for so long and have my cycles of ups and downs. I’m sure others do too…. I’m not
special. I get all caught up in what ever is going on and lose myself…..get everything out of balance which
doesn’t take much when you live with chronic illness or a handful of them nasty little pests. I so love the
out-of-doors and any time I felt stressed that was where I would end up….I could be still and let the natural
world absorb me and I would drink it in….really I could lay down on the ground and look up and feel that
I was wrapped up in an embrace from all that was natural and growing. I could refill my spiritual cup. I
could cry out how lost or alone inside and feel, really feel that swelling in my chest and the tears would be
a comfort and not a sorrowful loss. I haven’t been able to feel that embrace in so long now due to my health.
I deeply feel that loss, but I know in my heart of hearts that I can wander in my fog and if I seek, truly seek
my cup will be refilled…..it’s just harder now but not impossable…..I’ll see the warm rays of heavenly lights
parting the fog…..if you too are lost in a fog looking for that beautiful ray of light know you are not alone…
keep in mind that the warm rays of light from above will comfort you until our paths cross again….. Lila
