Visibility is reduced with
oppressive fog
blinding sunshine
raging blizzard
billowing sandstorm
or whipping wind;
when I wear dark glasses
have blinders on
shut my eyes against reality
creating my own storms of life.
I have learned to
stay low to the ground,
use protective cover
surround myself with like minded folk
put down roots in hospitable soil
take nourishment daily with water, sun and food
remake my bed rather than lie in it.
“Nowadays ‘invisibility’ was supposed to be the big problem, but
the way I saw it was, all that mattered was to be visible to yourself.”
~ Emma Donoghue
