I'm Never Alone!
My loneliest moments have not been when I’m alone; I’ve been very lonely in crowds. I’ve had some wonderful times with friends and family; times I’ll always cherish. But my absolute best times are when I meet HIM in HIS garden. It’s not that he’s not with me at other times; HE’s always with me. I take that for granted and that’s the difference.
Sunday afternoon, we walked in HIS garden, I felt HIS breeze on my face, HIS rocks under my feet, heard HIS birds sing, and the warmth of HIS glow in my soul. I stood in awe of HIS artistry as HE painted the canvas of granite walls with HIS ever changing Light. If he can paint hardened granite with HIS Light and create beauty, surely he can paint the hardest of hearts, too; maybe even mine.
Tomorrow, at 7:30 AM, I go for my third attempt to complete an MRI. My lifelong battle with claustrophobia has beaten me twice. How stupid is that? Tomorrow morning I’ll remember our Sunday afternoon walk, think of the picture above and know HE’s in the tube with me; I’ll know no fear.
Carl, you probably have already done the MRI or not. I just read this. Too strange. I am claustrophobic too. Have been most of my life too. Well, I never would go into a strange bathroom, etc., without my purse, which contained a screwdriver, pliars, ets. What would I do with those?
God only knows, but it would have kept me busy, working on a way out. As of 8 years ago, I had to go into a courtroom, and they confiscated my pliars, screwdriver, etc. I was stripped of my security. What a cruel day that was.
Carl, I have been screwdriver free for these 8 years now. Mysterious ways for sure.
It’s all comic and not comic and comic. Love you and hope you got the MRI.

Hi Donna,
In the future if a doctor tells me I need to have a MRI, I’ll say fine, “Just give me two!”
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and sharing your personal experience. I think you really understand how claustrophobia can take control of a persons emotions and reason. Well, the good news is I completed the MRI, with the assistance of 2 10mg Valiums. In fact, with their help it was rather enjoyable.
