Bless Your Kind Heart

A year ago, this day was hot and sunny.

I left the cafe feeling bilious.

I walked home, a short way.

I was very breathless.

I went through my front door.

Everything was spinning.

I was trembling, then really shaking. 

I swallowed spoonfuls of organic honey.

It was a birthday gift.

I must unlock the door. 

I must call the ambulance.

Where's my phone?

Was this life gone?

 

I was unconscious for almost 4 hours.

The summer heat was all around.

I did not move at all.

My body was still.

I slowly opened my eyes.

Still. I was still.

There was white light,

and then, a truly bright 'rainbow bridge'. 

 

I was mesmerized.

Yet I knew I was alive. 

Anaphylaxis. Untreated. 3.55 hours. 

I was lifted. I survived.  

 

I kept saying to myself:

"Oh thank you God, thank you God

Bless your kind heart.

Bless your kind heart." 

 

I felt out of my life for weeks, even months.

Now, December 2025, I am having medical tests.

What internal shocks, happened in my body?
