Left Turns

Left Turns April 9, 2009


Like for so many families we are in the midst of a breast cancer episode.

My auntie who has lived within our immediate family for nearly twenty years found that lump on Saturday. Yesterday the radiologist said first, it’s two lumps, not one and second he was all but certain it was cancer. He also said our original scheduled biopsy for two weeks out wasn’t acceptable.

I will be spending some part of today pursuing next steps…

Those words we chant every evening during retreat are foremost in my mind.

Let me respectfully remind you

Life and death are of supreme importance

Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost

Each of us should strive to awaken….


Awaken….

Take heed.

This night your days are diminished by one.

Do not squander your life.
