On Thursday I usually volunteer on the Oncology Unit (Brennan 6) @ Jersey Shore University Medical Center. But today I was escorting a family member during their medical exam at Sloan-Kettering in NYC. Today was the second time this week that I received news that family members do not have cancer. I'm elated but I still feel sorrow for some that I saw in the waiting rooms. The weight of what they were dealing with was bearing down on their faces, their bodies and their friends and family. The weight of cancer is carried by so many.
I send my prayers to all that are doing battle with cancer.
I'll leave you with two thoughts (okay..the second one is a run-on thought).
From the Dhammapada: "The Truth is One...the wise call It by many names."
Don't get too caught up in the details and philosophy...become your true authentic self...not just an imagined version of who you think you should be.
Perfect!
