Here's an attempt to remedy this.

, we find that people who are in pain, chronically ill, disabled, or isolated all have difficulty recovering. The sick are often all of these.Of course, sometimes things come together, and a different version of life takes shape. People find a place for themselves, maybe some work that is doable and meaningful. I am not sure how often this happens, but such experiences are not the rule.

As your external life grows smaller, your internal life must now expand. The path is lit by wonder, amazement, curiosity, and interest. Find what amazes you and begin there. This might be revisiting things that were fascinating in school but you could not do more of. Or perhaps you are learning something you have always wondered about. An art, craft, skill, a secret story to follow, or a new one to tell.

How does a chronically ill person find this? The way is to ask what amazes you. What makes a small smile appear on your lips, not because it is funny but because it is beautiful and amazing, incredibly interesting, beyond understanding? Then open a book, a web page, or whatever tools you need. A daily meal of what expands the horizons within your mind becomes the guiding path of your new life. The more something astonishes you, the more space it will open within you.
