Yesterday, I met a couple about my age sitting in the waiting room from Alabama; we had a playful conversation about the Bear Bryant and Charlie Mac football years, and then talked about our cancers. He was facing his 4th cancer and had come to MD Anderson fighting with hope. As he described his journey, it was in the stillness between his words that I saw the calmness in his eyes, and in this calmness you could feel the grace empowering his courage and hope. A nurse called my name, and we both said, “God bless”, at the same time, and I walked into my treatment reveling in a stillness filled with grace. Live in grace filled stillness today.
