Hidden Disabilities

public - created 12/03/06
From neuro to bio, or both. Any number of things will compromise or alter the course of your life completely, but leave no visible footprints for others to see. Whatever the condition the dilemma seems the same...you look just fine to others, and they assume it, want it, sometimes require it. The you look fine/you are fine stigma. It comes up in so many ways, with so many feelings....and a need to explain yet a desire not to. I know there are so many people out there grappling with this. This hidden thing that lives in us. we deny when we can, give into when we must, and accept when we are able.
I believe this struggle with duality brings compassion and wisdom.
Bestow yours
