First it was a sleeping machine
Then it became clear I need aids to hear
Now I have to have a pacemaker implanted
Laugh as I may, all this prompts today
big feelings & questions deep down inside
and I face a substantial leap of faith
Can I still count on God’s gift of dreams? Will
aids distract from what my soul longs to hear?
Will I lose the shimmer of Spirit in my heart?
Later life alive calls for a spiritual discipline
choosing to shine with the light and love of God
through artificial parts and all!
