Good morning all, I hope things are well with you all. We had a massive thunderstorm come through the other day. Just a single giant cell that came over and dumped a good three inches of rain in a half an hour along with a bunch of hail. The high winds and lightning just added to the effect. And then as the storm moved off and the sun peaked out, a beautiful double rainbow appeared off in the distance, shimmering in the newly found sun. It reminded me of just how small we humans are when it comes to nature. Thing is, our universe lives within our own perceptions. It’s probably the only way we could stay sane. After all, just thinking of the vastness of nature is a hard concept to grasp. This is why in a way we create our own environment around us. We cope with as much as our brains will allow us to cope with. I think when something like a diagnoses for hepatitis C hits us that we close our universe even more tightly around us. This isn’t really a bad thing. It’s just something we do in order to grasp all that is happening to us. By shrinking what we see, we’re able to fight the beast more effectively because we have less of a world to process. So never think that you’ve become to centered on yourself during treatments. This simply isn’t true. What your doing is exactly what you should be doing. Fighting with every ounce of strength that you have in order to win. Shrinking that perception so that all of your energy can be focused on winning your life back! The same perceptions will return when you finish this task. Never forget that nothings really changed in the world. It’s just us who have changed for a little while and when we return and once again widen our perception we’ll be able to smile for you see, what we’ve done is almost the same as a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and taking flight for the first time on wings of happiness. But first we have to allow the time for change. . . Chuck
