They Pull You Back In

This week I got to meet with both my surgeon and oncologist. I received the results from the second surgery, and the good news is that we have clean margins this time, so no more surgery. So that second surgery that I really, really didn’t want to have, was really, really important for me to have.

The less good news is that the lump of cancer cells in there was bigger than they thought.

The Clay Bowl’s Destiny

The
Ship you are riding on,
Look where it is
Heading:

Your body’s port is the graveyard.

Realizing the destiny of each clay bowl
Tossed into the sky
With no one to
Catch it

I finally
Accepted the Beloved’s kind offer
To enroll
In
His sublime,
Ball-busing course
Of
Spirit
Love.
