Embracing the Pain

Freedom from searing pain
Teaches gratitude
For pain-free movements ...

Agony of ill health
Brings me to my knees ~
Humbling my Heart ...

Through pain,
I recognize That
Which is Master of Wholeness.

Through tears,
I see the only Truth
Which can release me.

I embrace the pain ...
Grateful for it.

For what seemed my captor
Unveils itself as Wisdom Teacher.
