About a Girl
The year 1997 marked the beginning of a most powerful emotional struggle which has continued up to the present day. My defenses have weakened and further ailments, mostly physical have arrived including a bronchial-pneumonia attack which almost took my life. They put me on Oxygen and once again I survived. I am also slightly obese which is causing numerous problems in the lower limbs. I am currently undergoing my menopause at the age of 38. My mother, who is Arthritic, walks with a slight limp and my father has aged, but they are fighters in their own right too. It is in the equations of love that I have truly discovered the joy of being human. I might like to add a word or two here. That I have always been taught that “great suffering presupposes some great purpose…†I have always believed in my power to change things from the way they are to the way I think they are supposed to be, like changes in the conditions of the poor for instance. I am, still, despite every pain and suffering that has been inflicted on me and through the power of advanced alternative medicine, waiting to dart towards a day bereft of poverty, inequality, loneliness, homelessness and mass hysterical violence. A day free of depression, melancholia and suicides…I have also now become a spiritual seeker.
