May We Journey Together - Bill VanTassell
PROLOGUE
Almost four and a half years after a near fatal accident that left me with extensive physical and mental challenges, my mind set was not in a good place. This was my being before I began these writings.
My anger and despair
which cloud my mind
keeps me in a land of limbo
I'm teary eyed while I write these words
I reject what is expected of me
no matter if it is wrong or right
the consequences mean nothing.
The fight is here within me
a child in spirit
a man in thought.
Bill VanTassell 1992
The feelings of joy and triumph have never been so strong with love and understanding.
A peaceful salute to humanity
no longer will my thoughts of anger turn against me but turn to peaceful bliss.
My understanding still young in its relief, not too much not too little
rather a connection of information to guide me in what's to come.
I'm full of thankful thoughts as each blessing unfolds.
It's never too late and it's never too early when love is here to stay.
My thoughts, my love, my yearning have always been there for me.
My gift from God so strong so humble
gave me a beginning from which I now run with joyous understanding.
Not a negative thought, not an evil whisper
just endless joy and happiness from which these words are written
it comes and it goes with whispering words of wisdom.
With tears in my eyes I thank God
with glee and surprise I put the clues together
can you believe it, can you feel it?
I hope so
God knows the truth, God is the truth
so with knowledge I gain from second to second
minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day
for the rest of my life and beyond
I will share with you my feelings and love
in a way we all can journey together. AMEN 1992
I don't know why I am to write today
my feelings are not where I would like them to be.
My senses on edge, my emotion a fire
a sadness without reason, quick on my guard
cloudy in my land of limbo, my search for something fruitless
my mind strives for balance and unity.
Have the days that have gone by been for naught
or a test of my faith and strength
back and forth, weighing all thoughts against each other.
It's such a bitter battle, a battle of such torment
I've asked for help
but the end result must be from my own choosing.
Do I let go, realize my fate
release the fabric of what I know and what I think I know?
To question one's sanity, if not to question my own sanity
would seem to be quite insane to me.
I pause to ponder.
The words I'm to write are in such an array
maybe I guess, my feelings not best
are here to be put on display.
So with these last words
I will finish with what is today. AMEN 1992
My oldest son started first grade today.
We walked to school, because the car wouldn't start
it was quite fun for me
