    About this ebook

    These poems offer solace to people who are living with pain and injury and encourage them to share the truth of their experience.
    This book is ultimately a message of love and understanding for the many people who face adversity throughout their lives.
    This book is a reminder that we are not alone.
    Living with pain and injury is a moment by moment experience. The gift in all suffering is access to a deeper well of compassion and the peace of acceptance.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
