i walked through the desert like a dog with no name, nobody knew me anymore and nobody found me because they had given up looking and had turned their back on me. like a flee ridden dog i limped through the desert for a year, a decade, time was of no consequences anymore. i walked on and i left humanity behind, nobody remembered me and they all had forgotten my smile, my loud laughter was not longer heard, i walked through the desert like a dog with no name, No meat on my bones and my face i did not recognise. i walked on and my breathing was ragged, alone in the dark through the desert, silent and cold and empty even the stars had deserted me i walked through the plains like a dog that had lost its collar and was nobody's friend anymore. words had left my mind and my thoughts were bleak and i switch off, no talking, no thinking, while i walked through the desert, for what seemed like forever but in fact was but the blink of an instant or was it, have i arrived anywhere, i smile again and i am happy, i have found myself and seen in me what i never knew. i still walk but the desert is populate and people look and see and i smile then break into a laughter that startles me as i had not heard my voice for so long but it still was as i remembered. The joy of life in the middle of absolute despair, we laugh and cry together to make a person whole, if never you have walked through the desert on your own, never can you walk in a group again and recognise love and acceptance. @jeanninekauffmann
