My Covid Experience

It was very unpleasant.
But also, enriching and full of teachings.
It requires patience to allow healing.
"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

The fever was intense
took the virus and me to the limit.
The body weakened, just wanted to rest.
The Cells entered the battlefield.

The mind I can't understand
gave the body space.
Surrender was the only way.
Trust the body, it is wise.

Extreme situations
lead us to deeper teachings.
Pain teaches us who we are.
Look for life lessons in the process.

Maybe, I should slow down.
Don't take life for granted.
Pay attention to your senses.
Take better care of my body.
Let others help you.

Above all;
I remember that I'm not the one in control.
There is a superior force
that will determine the result.

I asked for help and trust.
God does not give you more 
than what you can't bear.
Grateful, for the Challenge!
