Every being experiences pain, with the exception of those with genetic abnormalities that prevent it. As humans, we experience it on many levels - physical, emotional, spiritual, mental - and most of us try to avoid it as much as possible. But those for whom pain is a daily companion, those with Chronic Pain, cannot avoid it. They live it. Every day. Sometimes in varying degrees. With and without medication. With and without relief. If occasional pains annoy most of us like a mosquito in the room, Chronic Pain for many is like an elephant in the room. An elephant that sits on you.
Lene Andersen's little e-book is a poetic meditation on Chronic Pain that raises its fist to the suffering, accepts pain's companionship, acknowledges its usefulness, brushes it aside, dives into the depths of its isolation, wretches with the agony, rises above its limitations, and transforms through the experience. For that is the ride on which Chronic Pain takes you; a rollercoaster. You scream. You fear. You may disembark, but you know full well that you'll get back on again.
Anderson's courage to dive into those depths, and express them with candor and insight, wraps around you like a friend. A friend who knows your darkest hours and encourages you to grow through them. The best kind of friend you can have.
7 Facets: A Meditation on Pain is available in e-book format almost everywhere e-books are sold, such as Amazon, Kobo, or Nook, for under a dollar. A minescule investment for a seven-faceted gem!
