Rogue elephant ~ a convulsion
grandmal or tonic/clonic seizure
petit mal or absence seizure.
Pretty big hints that Elephant needed
talking about
taming
accepted as part of me.
As years have passed
Elephant and I have come to an understanding.
Elephant is to be treated with genuine
kindness and respect
Elephant will remain a silent partner in my life,
as long as I feed, water and nurture myself.
Aging or illness may cause our relationship to change.
I am not silent with
family
friends
colleagues.
about Elephant
for it is they - all of you -
that will have to deal with the rogue Elephant
Elephant is my responsibility
and I do understand.
“We decided that it was not good asking ‘what is the
meaning of life’, because life isn't an answer, life
is the question, and you, yourself are the answer.”
Ursula K. LeGuin
