I stay in bed, I did too much The doctors say, they know best Don't they? How tired can one body be One mind How much can one person see? I'll meditate, have music here And The Tao, everything to keep the fear at bay. I'll read your poems, comment a bit And in return wish me less pain? One less demon to be slain? I stay in bed today, I did too much Those doctors say What do they know, I live in my head A better place than in my bed *** February 22, 2017

Rest has its own benevolent compensations, even if it can be tedious at times for those who like to be on the go. Salamtik. John

Shukran, John, it IS tedious :) I tend to be a busy little bee :D

(((Darren))) Meditation and Music sound like good choices to better heal. Wishing your pain would go away and those demons would vanish from your brain. Love you, my friend <3 <3 <3

I too ended up in bed today, I tried but didn't make it the day, at least you have sympathetic company. And Doug voiced my thoughts so well! :)

Hey Claudia, I am in bed and will stay there. You just enjoy your vacation. Deal? <3

You are doing everything right Darren. Listening to sound advice and good music. Meditating and allowing your body to recover at it's own pace. Try to be patient with yourself. If the wishes you request from us came true, you would certainly be pain free.

Hi Jean, yeah, I m doing my best. It's hard for me to just do nothing, but I managed. Oww, I wish those wishes were a real cure :)

Really well expressed Darren. Sending you hugs and blessings to help lift your spirits as your poetry does so beautifully to me. Pain bites BIG time, you are a force, you will slay it, your spirit is strong :-) Be well my friend:-) :-) much love, lynn

Take it slow and easy my friend, don't rush things, even though you think you can. These things take time. Get well Darren.

Yes, I stayed sleeping all day Cris, and today will be much the same, I just demand too much of myself. Stupid, eh?

Not being Superman is a hard thing to do for me, mrs. White!

I shall volley back with a poem I'll call, "I staid in pajamas today!" I, too, have bad days that make me embrace my good days in an extra tight hug. Making friends with pain while fighting the why and how and grieving who you used to be is most difficult, and something I understand. Your poem, as a poem, is a lovely sad touch that searches ... that element is from your head as mentioned in your poem. I feel you and your poem - with love, I do ... CayCay

Yes, I'll wait for your poem CayCay, loads of hugs for the both of us. All these things you mention, they are all true. I try to keep it light, and I hope I succeed, but that bed, I'd love to exchange it for something more in motion :) Love, Darren.
