My Mother lost most of her amniotic fluid

at 20 weeks in her pregnancy.

I was born full term.

 I was born with congenital dysplasia of the hips, right knee, and feet

– as well as other joints.

My right leg was twisted around my neck.

Surgical reconstruction began at 6 months.

My body is a dynamic testament,

actualized visions,

the blooms,

of remarkable creative medical genius.

My life story has been a unique,

treasured story of collaboration

catalyzed by my

congenital complicated complex orthopedic equation

met with

the pioneering creative genius of orthopedic surgeons

and

physical therapists.

X

X

X

My story is an improvisational story

steeped in abiding trust;

tuning fork of recognition;

moral courage;

sacred listening;

mutual dedication;

the divinity of the brilliant light in creative genius;

and

RADICAL HOPE.

ALL of my toe joints were congenitally dislocated.

Yes, they looked like a lioness’ clawed paws.

X

X

On 27 December ,

TWO days ago,

Dr. Coetzee reconstructed each toe!

I was prepared to meet the post-operative pain

and

prevail through the 8 weeks of recovery.

X

My ensemble of friends are remarkable templates of character

– as are my selected orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists!

They all know I am a RISE UP action figure

– NOT a potato chip planted/stuck onto a sofa.

X

TEAM – GOODNESS OF FIT!

“FOREVER YOUNG” will be MY birthday song on 29 December!

May God’s bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
May you stay forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
May you stay forever young

 Bob Dylan

Today I have lived twice the years of my beloved maverick Daddy,

Richard Harold Johnson, when he crossed over.

My beloved Mother, Doris Cottor Johnson Omlie, lived a mere four more years

than the age I am today before she crossed over.

This is my life and it is such a LIFE, the very life of LIFE!

There

The other wolf is the

loving, compassionate one.”

 When asked which wolf

will win the fight in his heart,

the ELDER replies: 

“The one I feed.”

DEER / DEAR #2                                                                           Catherine L. Johnson 2016

X
X
X
X
X

Life energy FLOWS through us like a swift stream

when there is nothing to obstruct it.

X

X

X

Though the channels

THROUGH which this energy FLOWS

are OPEN systems

and

influenced by factors

OUTSIDE

of our control,

one ultimately

chooses what impact

these  factors

will have in one’s lives.

X
X
X

It is up to one to identify

and

CLEAR blockages in the energy field

to ensure that FLOW is maintained.

X

X

X

Life energy FLOWS through each of  us

like a swift stream

when there is nothing to obstruct it.

X
X
X

Yet,

various forces such as

trauma;

the spiraling downbeat vibrations of others;

deceit and betrayal

and

unresolved grief of

past heart-breaks, irreversible losses and terrible disappointments

can and/or will

act like pebbles to stones to boulders

to mountains to earthquakes

that

impede/ BLOCK

the flow+ current.

X

X

X

If one allows/chooses

obstructions

to accumulate

without conscious clearing,

one’s life energy is thrown off its course

or

cataclysmically blocked entirely,

causing illness;

emotional/spiritual/psychological duress + distress

restlessness,

and

will,

ultimately,

STEAL

the vitality

of one’s

sacred/LUMINOUS life FORCE.

X
X
X

If one values the

sacred unrepeatable jewel

of one’s life,

  one will take the time to clear

these forces away

and

seize their power to impact

one’s lives.

X
X
X

When I practice:

RADICAL HOPE;

living my intrinsic values,

my ART of LIVING,

with honor and respect

for myself and others;

breath meditations – tending to my mind and body;

MOVING FORWARD

with FAITH + fearless improvisational creation/creativity;

RUN/PLAY with my selected + cherished DEARS /DEERS

and

fiercely shield myself

from negativity/bitterness/dishonesty/toxic energy,

I preserve my  

WILDERNESS/INTEGRITY/AUTHENTICITY

and

the JOYOUS flowing OCEANIC FIELD

of 

GRACE ENERGY’S

 LOVE/sacred LIGHT/BEAUTY

within

me.

X

X

X

I

WELCOME

call and response

relationships

that

HONOR + RESPECT

who I am

and

they have the capacity to state: 

“I SEE YOU!”

X

X

 Those same cherished beloveds

KNOW

that my response is:

“I SEE YOU!”
