Dear Eva,

I know well the sickness and the sadness, worsening as every day passes with increased pain in my neck and arm, and new numbness in my hand. I have been robbed of my calming Meditation Hour, no position allows enough freedom from sharp, referred pain that brings tears.

I am not even able to participate fully here because typing is so difficult and painful - double vision is enough to contend with. This deepens the Depression further.

All I have is the thought of my Friends here, caring and supporting across the countless miles. We are part of a Community which never lets us down, always listens.

So, let us allow His Spirit to lift us once more, help us push through the Dark Days, while our bodies and minds recover from the latest turmoil.

Dave.
