Кстати, один мой маленький рассказ был напечатан. Как-то я была на support group for cancer patients, and survivors, joint (Дебби проводит раз в 2 недели общие, можно привести родственников) and told a story. Всем понравилось.
My counselor попросила меня to e-mail her my story. Она попросила мое разрешение опубликовать. Вот эта история.
По-моему, эта "сырая" версия. Я дорабатывала, вносила изменения, а потом Дебби мне сказала прислать, как есть. Это было в прошлом году. Ранней весной этого года мой рассказик напечатали.
Crazy self-analysis or a Caterpillar story…
Last night it was my first support group meeting at the Cancer Center. The pain everybody brought in was intense but quiet, without heart breaking tears, and self pity. Patients came with their relatives…
People are dying, and in spite of fatigue, physical pain, and sorrow of losing life, losing loved ones they are trying to make the best of it. I was surrounded by this beautiful, strong, spiritual people, and I who had recovered, and in the beginning felt joy, and euphoria from the second chance was given me lately started feeling the pressure of life, and life became a burden.
“Second chance my foot” – I was thinking. Same problems callously interfered with my life making me feel like drowning.
“God, what kind of lesson are you trying to teach me? Aren’t you going to help me? What do you want me to do?????” - I wanted to shout. Instead I was smiling to everyone, and was showing the best, uplifting, positive attitude I could possibly show.
We all are wearing the masks of happiness, and well-being… Why are we afraid to show that we are tearing apart inside? Shedding tears inside but having smiles on our faces outside? Are we afraid to look sincere, or weak? Are we afraid to be judged? When it became a fashion to be like robots?
That’s how I felt going to that support group meeting. I was literally stunned by intelligence of my new friends, their calm demeanor, their acceptance of reality, and yet some of them were talking about their future funeral, and strangely it was NOT DEPRESSING.
I remembered my early morning experience sitting on my patio, and enjoying fresh crispy morning with a cup of coffee in my hand, and a dog, and a cat by my side feeling united with nature, and being a part of that…
Than I saw a caterpillar was crawling on the grass. It was fuzzy, multicolored caterpillar, so beautiful, and amazing. It drew my total attention. I was compelled by a moment, and suddenly a bird dropped down on a caterpillar, and started pocking it, trying to pick it up.
The caterpillar, I swear, increased her speed trying to “run” to a safe bush, and the bird kept unsuccessfully trying to pick it up. The struggle was finally over. 1:0 to caterpillar!!!
I was happy she crawled away.
Suddenly I thought that I am that caterpillar, and the bird was my disease, and I got away just like that caterpillar.
I shared my “Caterpillar story” with my new friends. I saw smiles on everybody’s faces, and it felt great!!!
Recently I decided to create a mental jewelry box where I put in the treasures of my life. Since I was given a second chance I am going to fill my jewelry box with morning dew on a grass, with a sunrise in the spring, with birds chirping early morning, with a sound of the ocean, with images of my loved ones…
Tonight I am going to put my “Caterpillar story” into my “jewelry box”.
I wish you all Love, and Peace.
Yours truly,
M

Перечитала сейчас, уже без эмоций, и вижу, что кое-где нужно изменить построение предложения, где-то пропущен артикль "а"; словом, для этой цели и существует editor.
Но нудная это работа. :rolleyes:
