'Nicomekl Nature Walk' Poem - Video Presentation

-

After I posted some reflections about a surprisingly renewing nature walk (following yet another series of medical tests), the serendipitous detour inspired me to write out my thoughts and then try creating this narrated poem. This is my first attempt at putting together poetry into a multimedia format . ... May you be inspired on your path to renewal. My second project, upon request for something to present at a special Christmas Eve service, is entitled ‘ What Child Is This? ’ Feel free to share it around for the holidays! https://youtu.be/XMmxQpX0Tdo (Also, you can visit my newly launched website to find links to recent original artwork) https://kkutney.wixsite.com/artbykenton

My Diagnosis: Hypereosinophilic Syndrome -- See Myeloproliferative Variant

In fact, the whole dying process is something we typically avoid unless or until the issue comes close to home. Then the questions become urgent, like that searching song about seeing a loved one in heaven, where Eric Clapton asks, "Would You Know My Name?"
