Hello to all that that live their lives and to those that live their lives a little differently. I live my life a little differently through the often invisible disease of Multiple Sclerosis which continues to change my life daily from what I had otherwise dreamed. It has both taken and given in every respect. As a poet I wanted to write about my experiences with the disease within me. I am always inspired by music, a force that can unite us all. Music, I think, is the nearest thing that can make us sing, dance, sway and to come closest to feeling the feelings of another. It is my passion to bring both people and art forms together. In M.usical S.ensations I juxtaposed the uniting force of music with the dividing force of a disease that is often indescribable. I overlayed my words of my own battles with MS on art (music) already created to communicate something new. The comfort of understanding the beat, the knowledge of a song, with the new lyrical expression I created to voice the struggle. I call this compilation of poems a constellation because each piece represents another symptom or phase, and the constellation of symptoms are vast and ever changing. I hope this mashup of art brings about an understanding by readers, a jolt of both comfort and discomfort; or even a sensation of this is how it is and this is how it should not be. A device to communicate what this disease feels like through music, something we can all feel within. A beat of harmony and a note of enjoyment, a symphony of aspirational comprehension. I hope you find something in this constellation that you 'Like' and 'Share'. M.usical S.ensations is for us all, however we choose to use it, however we end up feeling it. I will be releasing more pieces of my 'sensational' poetic playlist, but for now, please enjoy my first. I welcome feedback and I thank you for reading. Erin Vander Linden

A story about Isadora Thayer. You know how sometimes you forget who you are? Or you have lost complete feeling to everything in existence and all that's around you? Where numbness pours through your veins and you can't help but let it happen? Your mind is out of control, it's just a blank space and there's nothing. Nothing. Multiple Sclerosis. A condition that doctor's still have no clue how people get it. It can't be cured. This condition is an inflammatory disease in which the insulating nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. Isa loves to run. But each time she crosses through that finish line, her legs are lost with feeling and her mind is elsewhere. She collapses into a heap on the track. She can't feel a thing. When she was diagnosed her parents tried everything, but they just couldn't figure it out. Right when all hope was lost, someone stepped forward. Someone that will change her life, but also theirs. His. This is not only her story, but his too.
