My sister had a stroke 2+ yrs. ago, and was changed in recognizable ways, and 1 big way that I didn't recognize (though she tried to explain, and I tried to understand).
When she first heard your poem, she knew she was understood!!! And not alone!!! And that she was loved, even though so much about her had changed!!!
It's made a made a big difference in the quality of her life!!! She gave me the poem; and now I understand (as far as I can, not actually being in the situation), what she has been/is actually going through. I have a deeper compassion for her than I had before.
Thank you for your poem!!!

People continuously put themselves beyond their immediate surroundings by withdrawing into our minds and putting our attention into other places, people, and things. Projecting consciousness by reading books, watching movies, playing video games and now virtual reality. Where does this go? What is the end of this?
And here we are.

Thank you for saying exactly what I needed to hear, before I even knew it. Your words touched a tender spot that has longed for light and air. After all this time - breath is easier. Before, after....
