I had this peaceful view for a very short time when we stayed at a chalet up north,

I was able to ride my wheelchair to the bottom of the hill.

Then use my cane to walk very slowly and very carefully to the end of the dock,

Where I planted my tripod and fell to my knees.

I stayed there for a while

Watching the ripples in the water, and the trees gently swaying 

Listening to the frogs croak and the leaves ruffling in the wind

And then angling my camera for a shot

The joy, peace, and serenity from this time were intertwined with the sadness, fear and realization of my situation. It truly was a beautiful, thoughtful and poignant moment

….

I really hope this wasn’t my last time …
