The Words Are Lost - written by Heather Leigh Cameron
October 15, 2014

Finding the right words
not knowing what to say.
Struggling for definitions
that are lost within the mind
yet yearning to be spoken.

Where am I, who am I, what do I want?
I don't remember how live each day.
Not knowing where to travel to
but wanting to go off somewhere.
Therein lies a hidden danger.

Cancer is evil; a tool devised by Satan
created to rob the minds of dignity and knowledge.
Trained to be aggressive and kill as fast as possible.
Without emotion, without a care in this world
only to destroy the quality of human life as it is known.

Fight as you might, the outcome is unknown.
Just know that the fighters are never alone.
Divine and earthly help is ready and waiting
to lift the heavy burdens and sorrow from the plate.
Those who ask will feel strength be brought unto them.

The words are lost in the abyss of the mind.
Once spoken easily, now almost impossible to find.
All that can be done is to try a little more.
Sooner than later, the sufferer will see the shore
where the waves will painlessly carry them to an eternity of peace.

February 20, 2020 - Star Trek Picard: Episode 5 - Stardust City Rag

-
I admit, I have not yet viewed 'Stardust City Rag' even though it's on my PVR rewady for me to watch. I also admit that I check the recaps of the episodes each week before I watch them on CTV Sci-Fi just so I can have a sense of what I will be viewing. The episode photos intrigued me, but that intrigue was quickly replaced by solemn remembrance once I read the most detailed episode recap I could find. What happened in the episode reminds me very much of a past that I have worked hard to heal from, but still retain the memories and feelings of. I do not hate Picard; I actually quite enjoy it, but this kind of a subject being addressed in a supposedly utopian future makes me pause and consider things. I know it's a science-fiction television show and nothing in it is real, but the subject of addiction and that which it affects is a very real subject that does provoke memories of a different era in my life. I have found peace with it, but it's invited a definite need

October 16, 2018 - The Conners

I watched the premiere of 'The Conners' tonight and so many emotions filled my mind.... Roseanne Conner died of an opiod overdose, a fatal consequence of an untreated addiction that she managed to get others to feed. My birth father died of Stage 4 cancer of the adrenal gland, which was caused by years of alcohol and sometimes drug abuse. He drank even after he was diagnosed and he also mixed booze and pain pills, so his decline was quick, painful, and sometimes psychotic. I am familiar with what death by addiction can do to a family. After the death of my birth father, my family was left with nothing and we managed to score a rental trailer for a year and later on, an apartment in the city when Mom and I both made the decision to pursue There were a few points in the movie where the family finds stashes of Roseanne's pills all over the house and they quickly realize how deep her addiction was. It reminded me of how my birth father used to hide bottles of any kind all

Rolling Along - written by Heather Cameron - October 13, 2014 Rolling an organized pile of weight over so they can be relieved by baby powder and cooling cream so the sufferer can feel that life is but a dream Boulders with limbs, yet still filled with a soul and life. Striving along as they fall apart piece by piece Holding fast to whatever they can to survive. A workout for those who will be left behind. Mental and physical tolls taken on the loved ones. Yet, the opportunity to serve is so equally present. Blessings will come for any sacrifices brought forth. For every gift of care, the time to be cared for will come. Though bodies crumble and minds become tired. The spirit yearns to be free of the burden of a crumbling rental unit that is meant to slow down. Perfection and peace will someday come to all. Do not be afraid to show compassion and love. Death is not a failure, only an end to much pain. Such time will come when the trial will be over. Even
