With the rapid spread of Covid-19 and its variants that perpetuated a major pandemic, the world has been turned upside down for the first time in more than a hundred years. Certainly at the outset, many around the globe were hurled into a swirling state of anxiety, uncertainty, isolation, even panic. These disorienting reactions on the part of whole nations have mirrored the experience of individuals who are likewise thrust into crisis and confusion by the onset of illness, injury, pain or trauma whether physical, psychological or emotional. This reality throws into sharp relief just how much we are all fundamentally a part of one family––the human family. In these pages, poets and artists share their profound, poignant and passionate perspectives on what it is like to navigate the hardships of health challenges and to learn from them in the spirit of resilience and perseverance. Read and remember–– whether well or ill––you, too, have access to wholeness, which is the heart of all healing that transcends the limiting notion of cure.

she asks me
for a healing spell—
yet her own words
shimmer like starlight
in the depths of an inner well

~ Jenny Ward Angyal

Corona again
her forgotten doll fills
the garden bench

~ Inas Asfari

after the plane crash
every color
every breath

~ Gary Evans

prognosis
the clear crisp sparkle
of a dewdrop

~ Ed Markowski

I am a licensed psychologist who moved from New York City to Berkeley, CA in 1982. I rediscovered haiku in the 1990s after mysteriously developing chronic health problems which significantly impacted both body and mind. My attention span has been shrunk to the length of a single breath--just right for writing haiku. Haiku has thus saved my life. Having been born for retirement (but constitutionally incapable of planning for such things), I cherish the time I have for reading and writing poetry, which has been informed by my longtime study of Eastern philosophy and spirituality--Zen and Taoism, in particular.
