I claim pain as my totem,
Cloaked in both ice and inferno,
As I accept and embrace the darkness
On my path to redemption.

Claiming something for ourselves is sometimes the first step in overcoming it! Enjoyed reading about your 'power image.'
Accepting the pain is our path to redemption. This is a powerful image ~
Wow! This packs a punch in few words. Learning to claim our pain is not an easy thing.
Yes indeed. Once we accept things, we can then try to find a way to get over them. Having lupus, pain is something I'm all too familiar with myself too.
Very nice totem Mary.
