Bypass

I had bypass surgery 6 months ago this coming Wednesday. 5 bypasses. I am back at crossfit challenging myself to be more. Testing the limits of healing and the body’s response. I am pushing forward. I realized once again that the gift is fragile. Yet the body and spirit are amazing. We are the ultimate paradox. Strong and frail. Powerful and vulnerable. A heartbeat away from the life we choose to live. I see the scar. I know what took place. And I realize we all have scars. We all have moments that test our spirit and soul. But we choose. Bypass is now a metaphor for me. Get on with life. Bypass the obstruction. Don’t be blocked by some obstacle. Life is short. Move past the bypass.
