Thank you so much for reading and sharing your opinion in your kind comment, Joe!
In the beginning I put much effort in hiding my disease and pretending that nothing was wrong. I felt so ashamed! Meanwhile I know that there is nothing shameful about disability and dependency. As you say, everyone has to carry their backpack containing good and bad things with the purpose to teach us a lesson

You’re actually an inspiration to others with this writing. Many hate their lives and wish they could change. Trough the mundane tasks of life they complain and never show gratitude for how lucky they are.
Your struggle is a real one that only the strongest can endure. I hope life gets better for you somehow.
No need to respond.

Wow Tim! I had never expected to read such a great and understanding comment to my writing! Of course I have my struggles with my condition. But I am also convinced that every problem presents us learning tasks. When we accept that challenge, we will be stronger and maybe a little wiser. To go through life with an open heart and lots of gratitude for all the wonders and blessings all around us was one of the lessons I have learned. And – everyone has their struggles and fights. Suffering is no competition. In the end, aren’t we all walking each other home?

Elke, Ich liebe es! Suffering from a disability myself, I can relate to the struggle. Our writing, however, makes you and me beat the disability and we come out as inspirational in our work. Sehr gut, Elke!

Your comment is mind-blowing and touches me deeply! You are so right, we can eithér give up and let the disease win or learn from it and transform the suffering into writing. Life has to offer many gifts despite of illness and disability. Maybe we appreciate them even more.
1000 und einen Dank! -

This poem shows your strength and determination to move past this debilitating disease and strive for what your heart and soul truly feels. Beautifully written, with such amazing detail.
Bravo Elke

Interesting take on pandemics. They certainly were not handled very well, but the vaccine for the modern one was was handed out fairly, in general. It was new territory so mistakes were made. I got all my shots and am glad of it. I do agree that there were too many restrictions put on the public at least here in the US.
This piece really made me feel like I was sitting there with the two ‘women’. You certainly have a talented pen Elke. To be transported to the moment you describe is really a rare and wonderful talent. I’m happy the you share it with us. I’d be happy to slip and fall in your direction. 😉 💙-

Your appreciation and encouragement made my day, dear Jim! 1001 times thank you!
Of course I exaggerated in my writing but anyway, I think that every crisis comes along with a learning task. I’m afraid, concerning the Corona pandemic humankind has failed the test.

You are a very good storyteller. To board people in their own homes to prevent the spread …yeah history did repeat itself with that. The difference is that people spoke online and got used to that, then speaking face to face. Thought-provoking piece.

Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment dear Fià! There are even more parallels: in times of the plague, many people tried to overcome their helplessness and desperation by celebrating hilariously on graveyards and other scary places. On these occasions people used to wear facial masks!

A pleasant sweat pushes through my pores as I read this.
It’s so sensual, but so much more too.
As you know, the mind is the most erotic organ.
Nice job Elke. Thanks.-

Elke, das war ein brillantes Wortspiel! Und es schreit, dass die Liebe zur Seele besser ist als die Liebe zum Sex.
Elke, this was brilliant wordplay! And it screams that loving the soul is better than loving in sex.

Vielen Dank für Deinen wunderbaren Kommentar. Daniel! Ja, das stimmt. Ich denke, dass an guten sexuellen Erfahrungen immer Körper, Geist und Seele beteiligt sind.
The union of body, mind and soul raises sexual pleasure to a spiritual dimension.
