With my life seeming to hang in the balance, I was referred to an immunologist who did extensive testing that yielded a diagnosis of Common Variable Immune Disease (CVID). Wisdom holds me as I am pulled down by the weight of a new diagnosis CVID (image 3). I’ve had enough, I scream a loud NO to taking on more. I want no more learning. I want to go no deeper (image 4). I’m falling into a black hole with no bottom (image 5). I face CVID as an encompassing identity with which I want no part. I struggle to extricate myself from it. I will chisel my way out whatever it takes (image 6)! Back to back with my resistant self, I find the web of life I attempt to weave swirl and wrap around both parts of me leaving no room for a No (image 7). Resistance yields to acceptance.
