The poem (your choice of words) was / is a very powerful and emotional journey. Thank you for sharing and I hope, by doing so, it brings you some form of release.🤞

And after all that, you have to experience a migraine as part of the recovery process!!

The photographs reinforced the feelings generated by your poem.💐🙏

Thank you so much, Mark!! 🤍 This week was really a struggle, the words never seemed right, just as the images didn’t. But the further I got the easier it was. My migraine is kinda closing down the system when everything get too much.

Absolutely awful; one way or another, you produced, a very insightful and inspiring piece of work. Well done.

Oh sweetie, I feel your pain. Thank you for sharing your feelings, you do have a way with words. Life is a journey that we all have to experience. But sometimes, we get lost trying to figure out, “What the F**k?” You’re one talented individual who stands out in this world! I am amazed by your photos and words. Namaste

Thank you so much, Jo-Ann!! 🤍 I‘m mostly swimming against the current, so life’s pretty rough sometimes. Especially fighting against myself. Thank you so much for reading, understanding and commenting! 🫶🏻

Thank you so much for reading and sharing your experiences, Sandra. 🤍 For me it feels like migraines is some kind of purge. I try to see the good in it.

Sandra Murzin's avatar

Me too...hard to see the good when you're in that kind of pain,but I feel different;very weak but a sort of cleansing? I don't know.You are spot on with the purge and looking for the good in it thing...thank you!

wildflower's avatar

Definitely. It’s like the pressure‘s moving out of the body. Relieving.

It's amazing how from pain can be born such beautiful words and pictures that shine in wonderful art... and "the world turns white" again.🤍

I'm sure Jack also has some credit for making your migraine go away.😺 And you, beautiful wildflower, you get a hug from me too (from those with the smile).🤗

Thank you so much, Diana!! 🙏🏻🤍 This means a lot, I really struggled with the words and the images this time.

He always is the sweetest medicine! 🥰

Hugs coming right back at you!! 🫶🏻

feels like swimming and to lay back after a time to let the water hold the weight does that make sense ? Its powerful in its vulnerability dear wildflower 🤍 du hast es einfach drauf !

wildflower's avatar

That totally makes sense to me!! Thank you so much, dearest pie!! 🤍 Gerade weil mir das Schreiben so schwer gefallen ist, bedeutet mir Dein Feedback umso mehr.

Beautiful as always 🩵 I hope you’re feeling better, migraines are the absolute WORST!

wildflower's avatar

Thank you so much, Hannah!! 🤍 Finally I’m through the pain (til next time). Yes, it’s so horrible.

Powerful and I resonated with migraines almost being gifts. Sometimes when I have been running too hard and fast, not willing to stop for anything, a migraine is the only thing that could stop me in my tracks. Even in the pain, I could see the gift.

wildflower's avatar

Yes, same here. When I go beyond my own boundaries, migraines stops me and forces me to rest. Thank you for reading and resonating with my words, Stephanie!! 🤍

Great flow to this post with words and excellent photographs. A fine balance. Very touching and very nicely done!

wildflower's avatar

Thank you so much, Søren!! This week nothing felt right, so I value your words even more. 🤍

søren k. harbel's avatar

Anytime! I hope this week is proving to be better….

wildflower's avatar

There’s still room to improve so far. But it’s only Monday. Let’s see what’s going to happen. 😁

Clarity of the closed eyes— vision comes with the opportunity to see in the darkness new images that reveal a revelation . Pain lets you know you’re still alive to bring wonder to life.

wildflower's avatar

Pain cracks the numbness.

Thank you for reading and understanding, Richard!!
