Infection

Little by little—drip by drip—we feel pain slowly take over in our bones until we feel nothing. Eventually, we won’t care. There is only pain, an infection that takes over our minds, bodies, and spirits. It takes away all joy in our lives. Everybody has pain, but we can do something about it. We all learn to live with some level of pain. Those lessons can be taught to others in the hope that, by some small measure, their life can be improved.
