The greatest things in life you cannot see.

The will to live.
The love you give.
The air you breathe.

The energy all around,
Giving each one of us
The strength to proceed.

Each one is intangible to our eyes, but not our hearts. And each one pushes us believe that there is something that connects, intertwines, and sustains each one of us.

I know nothing. I repeat this in my head, because if I ever think or believe I know more then what surrounds me, the Universe that has created everything – I am reminded quickly, with absolute, who I am in this world. That I am only human. I am a student – an eternal one.

Why am I saying all this? I learned once again after a lifetime of living with CF, that although only as of recent, I have been mixing two of my drugs incorrectly. A tisk and a tasket in a blueberry basket – one only knows what one is shown.

But, I firmly believe in every living cell in my body – the will to live is an energy that radiates inside that is the commanding officer that will not shut up, give up, or be let down. I don’t know where it comes from, I don’t know how it got there, but it is, there. It is real, even if one cannot see it.

And I have to say with all honesty, that I have said “I give up” in my life, most often trying to get out the door, getting all my meds done, my treatments, the stack of must-dos. But, my Will says, “No you don’t. I won’t let you.”

“I won’t let you?” Damn.

But, I believe – each one of us carries that Will inside of us, the “I won’t let you”, Will. That one that is always present – the ever constant. 

It is there.

It holds us; believes in us.
Gives us the strength, down to our feet, carrying all of us.
