Diagnosis

She says she would not want to diagnose people.  I tell her people are not their diagnosis, anyway. She is not convinced.  

I tell her
A diagnosis
Is only the beginning of things,
A place to start,
Certainly not
The place to end.
There is so much road to travel
So much to find and appreciate.
A diagnosis
Identifies a bump in that road
So we can then
Plow through it
Leap over it
Sidle around it.
A diagnosis
Is not the place
To stop.
A diagnosis
Is the place                                            
To begin again.
