During chemo, you’re more tired than you’ve ever been.  It’s like a cloud passing over the sun, and suddenly you’re out.  You don’t know how you’ll answer the door when your groceries are delivered.  But you also find that you’re stronger than you’ve ever been.  You’re clear.  Your mortality is at optimal distance, not up so close that it obscures everything else, but close enough to give you depth perception.  Previously, it has taken you weeks, months, or years to discover the meaning of an experience.  Now it’s instantaneous.

I have come to see that we all live in fear, fear of what will happen, of what the neighbors will say, of the car breaking down, the bank repossessing, fear for our children, our friends, our loved ones. I now try to live without fear. I don’t manage it all the time, but I do for oh, about 80% of the time, I no longer fear opening the mail, answering the phone, talking to my bank – talking to anyone in fact! I have always been a confident person, but now, I am both confident and assertive. I am living my life in the light, with the help of the Angels.
