Femur sighs, given a break and transformed by love. — by poet (inspired by Ira Byock) What’s worse than an illness, an accident? Imagine with me helpless in the abyss… Open to the curse of curs. No warm or cold compress No caress No handkerchief No matter how hard you have it, if surrounded by compassion, you’re not as broken.

Kim, Lovely & so true! This belongs on a poster in every hospital room, & school classroom, part of wedding vows, on textbook prologue page, & printed on band-aids! Great, great!

compassion is such a powerful force and takes so little effort most of the time. Compassion always makes me feel 'less broken.' Nicely done, Kim. Enjoy your evening, Sara

In difficult situations, the concept of compassion becomes vital in assisting others. People are often blissfully oblivious of the significant influence they have on someone's life, or of the great assistance they bring. Blessings and good wishes Kim.

Last June I fell hard and am still suffering the result of that fall, though I had no fractures. Blessings.

Great poem here, I agree.. Never an easy situation, compassion is very important to help others, sometimes many do not even realise how much they have helped another..

A curse on the curs, and a vote for compassion from this angle, Kim.
