MS Bubble

[This poem/prayer also appears on my MS blog (MS - My Scene). I like re-reading it as, for me, it describes the consolation to be found in having a disease like MS (yes, there is one!). It's a "Thank you."]


There is something very special about being in an MS “bubble”.
Alone, untouched by voice or hand, or even presence of another.
Protected, enveloped, by what? By peace. There is no panic here. No stress.
Only the blessing and golden light of being alone,
yet loved, in communion with the Holy Family.
Through silence and physical solitude to feel the soul surrender its own wordless prayer.
Contemplation.
And grace.
Amen.
