Suffering
I am facing a health crisis
It ranges from disbelief to eventual acceptance
A stream of questions arise
Questions that require answers
From deep within
I find myself
Seeking for strength and wisdom
Where is my tower of strength?
Where is my wisdom when I needed it most?
My cocktail of emotions
Fear of the unknown,
Worry about family
All play on my mind
Sickness can be a blessing in disguise
For the first time
I experience the impermanence of living
The suffering nature of living
My mind opens to
The compassionate words of enlightened beings
The Sutra draws me more and more
My heart gravitates to the sound of chanting
I am experiencing a cleansing time
Replenishing my soul with healing energy
Amitabha! Be in my heart
Amitabha! Be in my mind
Amitabha! Be me ultimately!
