Driving early this morning to get a PET and CT scan I kept wonering about
“The Gift, disguised.” During breakfast after the scan I wrote this:
The Gift Disguised
Disguised as a biopsy, PET/CT scan,
echogram, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation
lies an unknown gift disguised as breast cancer.
I am opening to the gift, wondering
How will I recognize the unseen gift?
Will it suddenly surprise me with delight?
Or slowly reveal its beauty to me over the next few months?
How will I recognize the unseen gift?
Will it gleam like a crystal
bringing light and clarity into my life?
Or slowly reveal its depth of beauty in the light of those I love?
How will I recognize this unseen gift?
Will it shower me with the joy of deep connection and compassion?
Or slowly pull back the veil to reveal
unseen dimensions of light and love,
I have never before seen?
How will I recognize this unseen gift?
I open to its light, clarity, beauty and connection, knowing that it lies in the flow of life – life, eternal and expansive.
