we are not cursed with pain
we are blessed with the chance
to learn to dance the dance
of the healer
to turn off suffering
wiith knowledge, we once knew
methods ancient, tried, true
plying the craft

This is lovely, Annette. I read it through a couple of times to imbibe its strength and learn the dance. It seems that little twinges of pain skip through my body. Never staying very long in one place, but teasing me making me think I can treat one little part and there would be no pain. It’s not much, just a spark like static electricity that lets you know that age is creeping up. It is like a dance. LOL
