“Naked in the Wind” speaks to the raw vulnerability that chronic illness brings—the way life with sarcoidosis can strip away the illusions of control, security, and even identity. Much like Gibran’s reflection on the inevitability of death, living with an unpredictable disease is a constant reminder that we are all, in the end, exposed to forces beyond our choosing. Yet in this bareness, there is also a quiet strength: the courage to face each day, to stand in the wind without armor, and to find meaning, connection, and even beauty amid uncertainty.
