Ground control to Major Tom:
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong. …
This is Major Tom to ground ]control:
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in the most peculiar way . ..
And the stars look very different today
Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon . …
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do.
Sometimes I feel like my body is a messed up biological vehicle. Just like poor Major Tom it carries me around without any certainty, with an unpredictability liken to a space capsule off course. Multiple Sclerosis has made me feel like I live in an alien.
I wish I could step through a door and float amongst the stars and meld with atoms and molecules. A place where the elements of this earth would not limit the spirit that is within me. I would move faster than the speed of light as my soul followed its destiny.
Ground Control to Kmilyun:
All the matter on Earth is star stuff.
Well dang – zap back to earth and this crazy thing we call life.
Of note and hope from Reuters : FDA allows first test of human stem cell therapy
Stem cells have the potential to replace the function of damaged nerve cells – emmm sounds like a good thing. All moral and religious issues aside – it offers hope in the hunt for a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and many, many other diseases and conditions
Off to the land of dreams now where I can float through time and space . …
.
I like the idea of floating around in time and space. Sounds peaceful.
Love the idea of floating in space.
Great post and blog

I’ve had M.S. for 24 years and whilst I can relate to the floating in space adage sometimes (well my legs can..), I mostly feel like the Tin Man in the Wizard of OZ and in need of a good oil.
