| Be still. Let the hours pass on Let life continue But be still. Be held. Let them hold you close Let them carry you through But be held. Do not strive. Be what you need to be Do what you want to do But do not strive. Let your mind rest now. Let your body repair. Let life carry on. Be still. |  |

beautiful. thank you.
i am thinking of you in the stillness, and walking with you in the struggle when stillness and peace seem unattainable.
love and prayer
Thank you Caroline.
You're one of the many who I am grateful to have walking beside me and holding me.
why is it so hard to be held sometimes?
sorry i have not been vocal with my fingers the last few days - been thinking of you though - what's that old saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger - doesn't feel like that when the shit comes at you though, does it...
hang in there
That is beautiful, and wise.
Finding stillness is precious, and just being is healing, thoughts and prayers sent your way with love.
Thank you too for your comments and thoughts to me - they mean a lot, Katie
Paul, I wish I knew why I find it so hard to be held. For me, it is a mixture of guilt (old childhood messages - "don't draw attention to yourself") and fear.
Thanks for the thoughts. God working through others is the closest I have been to him for some time.
I'm pretty sick of the "makes you stronger" argument (not a criticism of your comment, btw, just an observation) - like you say, it sure doesn't feel like that. Thanks for responding.
Katie, thank you for the compliments. It was intended to be reminders to myself. I've been too focused on doing, on getting better, and realised I need to stop and just let things happen as they will. Valium is a wonderful thing just now, and is enabling em to be comfortable with the time and the stillness and with just being.
Thinking of you - you hang in there too, OK?
