That Thing Again...

I love how everything is a new discovery (over and over ) with this disease.  I have brain fog that is frightening, although I hear it is common.  So, I think the job thing is going to get decided with or without me.  The university has basically lost its confidence in me.  I have to say, I am sooo there with them.  I've lost my confidence in me too.
Perhaps I should just sing with Julie Andrews, "I have confidence in confidence alone...".
Well, I don't.
But, I cannot get sucked into that hole and stay there, now can I?  What did I say in my last post???? Climbing without a harness.... so true.
However, there is a harness.  I feel it wrap itself around me when I am at my darkest.  Is it Love?  Is it my parents, holding me between them with giant arms that reach from heaven?  That's what I picture, you know.  Giant Arms.  They are God's arms.  They are Love's arms.  They are that thing again that makes me hang onto the hand coming over the cliff....when I want to let go.  And damn it, they will pull me up.  I have to climb on my own but not too fast or too slow.  I cannot go at any pace I have ever known.  This is totally up to the Universe.  I am merely along for the ride.  A speck.  A heart that beats and screams into the Darkness. No.  No.
There is a place for me.  I don't know where and I don't know when, but there is a place.  A new place that is not in a college classroom.  I have to let go.  I have to hang on.
I have to know that I really cannot fall.  Or if I do, I will be caught and held.
