One Mystic's Thoughts on Cancer

'Why?' is no longer the ultimate question.

The mystery of where this path may lead
is far more potent than any explanation
for why this is the path.

And if it is true,
that we are all part of the same whole,
then:
My cancer is your concern.
Your faith is my strength.
My courage is your permission.
Our sharing is everyone’s healing.

May we all be blessed by this experience.
