My beautiful wife, Silke, is recovering from cancer and other life-threatening health problems. I believe in her with all my heart, and I know she can make it. This is for you, baby-girl
Transcendental Sonnet #1154:
Standing at the Still Point
for Silke
Do we turn or is all else turning round us?
If we turn I know we turn for the better
Perhaps so much that equipoise has found us
And we are free nor bound by rusty fetter
Which chains to the wheel of life which grinds the mill
I feel at last as though we are transcending
And though the mill grinds still as it always will
Our bondage to its ups and downs is ending
I dare to believe because I must that we
Are standing at the still point of the turning
Made dizzy by all the folly passing by
The madness and the mindlessness the burning
Of learning by a world trying hard to die
As someone who is also recovering, I know too well what this struggle entails. It is not only a struggle for the one afflicted but for their loved ones. You are a special man Steven and I admire you for your love and support of Silke.

I pray her recovery is swift, and with you standing at her side, with the love and devotion that one can tell by your words, you would give her all the strength she would ever need to overcome.
You've penned a stairway of absolution...and are helping her climb it too.
