From the mouth or babes...

Spending my time in creative embrace surrounded by a world of mini-superheroes has been good for the soul :-) Had a wonderful conversation with kids at play yesterday. They even invited me to be the villain for all their superheroes to defeat. Insights have come fast and furious ever since. This was the perfect antidote to the melancholy that was kryptonite to me. Everything comes to me for a reason... sent to me on the wings of fancy I have come to find my purpose once more. I get how relevant the superhero imagery can be for kids with Cancer. If a child, at play, can use their imagination to conjer up the strength to fight imaginary villains-- let's bring it into reality for a minute or two! Inspiration: thy name is Emma Sky! Daughter to my good friend Charmaine.

I am realizing that rather than planning everything that I am up to in future: I need to also be creating in the now. There are so many untapped resources that surround me and I need to stay open to everything as it's occurring. The lights have flickered and my space is luminous with the possibility of freedom in the face of Cancer!

N' that's how I'm surviving... MDB
