Last night, I taught “healing calm” at a cancer support group
that meets at the MD Anderson Bay Area Regional Care Clinic. About a dozen participants representing a mix
of cancer survivors and caregivers gave me a very warm welcome. I immediately felt their strong bond, as I
watched compassion, empathy and kindness expressed in hugs, smiles, and warm
touches. George Everly’s resiliency
research on Navy Seals suggests that the strongest single most powerful
predictor of resilience is connectedness and support. What I realized last night was that it’s the
moments shared not the words that become our strongest connection to others. MaryBeth and I have been holding hands a lot more
lately, connecting me to feelings in my heart impossible to describe with words. Today, share moments that are more powerful than
our words.
