While volunteering yesterday, I talked to an elderly woman about the patient portal.

We chatted about a number of things, I gave her the cliff note version of my health scare 2.5 years ago, and my lastest blessing of having my poetry published in the newsletter.

she asked if I had any with me, I said no, but I offered to recite "Darkness to Light", in June's newsletter.

Her comments were humbling.

She Said," oh that was so beautiful, thank you for sharing, that has inspired me.

I replied" thank you for your kind words, you are an inspiration to me.

She Said" God Bless you and I cant wait to see you on yhe other side, I'll be looking for your poetry"

I was so moved I had to exit the room and wipe away the tears.

That was such a beautiful example of human connection, what compassion

all I can say is thank you god for the gift of writing and the gift to gab.

be blessed and be a blessing
