“Some miles to go..”

There is nothing I would like better than to say that healing is coming along quite well and I’m going to be up and at ‘em and no time at all.

But nothing can be farther from the truth.

What happened with me was very serious. The open wound I have now saps a lot of my energy. I know everyone wants me to be stronger and more capable of doing things than I currently am. I can sense it in the way they ask questions. I’m not upset with anybody because I think I’d be thinking the same thing. I’d wanna know that my friend or family member was OK. 

And I am OK. But there is still a very long way to go.

There is a song that really speaks to how I feel. Mavis Staples sings it, and I posting it here and I hope you will listen. It will give you insight into how I feel. It reveals my current truth. I have also posted the lyrics below.

There's a sorrow in the wind
Blowing down the road I've been
I can hear it cry when shadows steal the sun
But I cannot look back now
I've come too far to turn around
And there's still a race ahead that I must run

I'm only halfway home
I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find, I'll find the things that I have lost
I've come a long, long road
But still have got some miles to go
I've got a wide, wide river to cross

I have stumbled, I have strayed
You can trace the tracks I made
All across the memories my heart recalls
But I'm still a refugee
won't you say a prayer for me?
'Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls

I'm only halfway home
I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find, find the things that I have lost
I've come a long, long road
but still I've got some miles to go
I've got a wide, wide river to cross

I'm only halfway home
I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find, find the things that I have lost
I've come a long, long road
but still I've got some miles to go
I've got a wide, wide river to cross
I've got a wide, wide river to cross
I've got a wide, wide river to cross
