Thanks for this, Patricia. I’m glad this gave you some uplift and a reason to reread Eliot. Poetry is a healing force, in its own way. Best wishes for your continued, albeit long, recovery from your back surgery.

The last 21 months have been very difficult for me, not due directly to scleroderma but from slow recovery from failed back surgery. This week reminded me that as debility often occurs over time, so does getting better.

Love the Eliot reference too.
