What chronic illness can feel like
Failure.


In the beginning there was ambition, planning and forward movement.

Goals attainable, nothing impossible.

Short step. Quick step, but moving onwards, keeping to the plan.

Illness falls.

All things change, a stuttering, faltering descent into stillness

Reflection.

What will the future bring? No longer controlling, but waiting.

Looking at the stairs going ever upwards and away.
