unsteady hands apply the camouflage for the face
though not deftly placed
obvious ailments are masked

if only the makeup could extend the length of the body
concealing the disabilities

To wish to dream of a cream that could do just that. Reality bits!
These little stones of yours are very good indeed! Put them in a little book and I for one would buy a little book of your stones.
As long as we are wishing, let's add a paintbrush that not only covers the surface but changes the reality beneath it.

It would be nice to hide the disabilities...you wrote a beautiful stone
thats the trouble with your condition hon, you DO tend to look quite well despite the ravages beneath. *huggggs*
BTW - I whooly agree with Mary about a stones book, accompanied with your amazing pics! *VBS*
I am loving your small stones. And wonder (just a little) whether you would have shared them without your/our disability. What would you have been doing instead of giving pleasure to many.
Though I also agree, given my druthers, MS would be gone in an instant.
A very moving insight into what I imagine would be a very frustrating situation.
Hi Mary,
I wish something could do it! Thanks for your support and encouragement of my small stones writing. I may someday put them in a book!
Hi Judy,
Yes, for sure, a magic wand even!
Hi Kim,
Thanks for your kind comment.
Hi Les,
I do look good, dont I ;)
Hi EC,
I don't know if these stones would have developed without my present condition. I have always written, but not often shared. I used to paint. I can't do that anymore because of the disabilities. Now, I try my hand at painting with words.
Thank you for reading them and for your support.
Hi J. Cosmo,
Some days are better than others! Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Karen, my heart goes out to you, thanks for sharing so honestly! You sound like a beautiful lady!
The clarity and honesty found in this stone is heartbreaking. The simple statement at the end ties a gentle reminder that you stand tall even in your illness. Blessings.
