RECOVERY

I had a stroke
The rug was pulled
from under me

I stopped Eating
I stopped Walking,
I stopped Singing
I stopped Dancing
I stopped Teaching – and Learning

I stopped Loving
I stopped Living  –  in that order
Because how can you live
without love?

I woke up
I saw what I hadn’t stopped:

And I learned:
To be “normal”  –  Or did I ?
To be “humble” –  Or did I?

I woke up – and I learned:
Living
Walking
Dancing
Singing
In new ways
To new rhythms

And in another life
I lived
