Patience

The sickness is progressing. Today I felt so tired that I slept most of the day. Up for breakfast. Up for lunch. Then back into dreaming consciousness.

The only constant in my day is the T'ai Chi Chih moving meditation practice. And, even though I felt weak and sore today, I returned to my practice as the sun slid down the sky.

Though I slept through most of this sunny day I don't regret that I got more rest. Because my body feels so miserable I can feel my attitude slipping. The TCC practice helped lift me out of this mental misery for awhile.

I know that my body is slowly moving down the path of this illness. Patience, I tell myself. If I can maintain my patience, the suffering will be less....
