My weight this morning was 179, 36 pounds less than the
hormone driven 215 at one time in my cancer journey. Returning from the labyrinth walk I led this
afternoon, I could feel again an internal smile as I thought about being nicknamed
the Fly. Doug Moreau (LSU & Miami
Dolphin tight end) gave me the name and called me out for my “no fear” effort my
first season (7th grade) on the junior varsity football team. After college, I entered the Army in great
shape at 150 pounds. After Ranger and
jump school, I was down to 136 and had gained the nickname Swamp Rabbit, for my
survivorship skills and ability to remain calm in a crisis. This
weekend as I waited for the fog to lift, I could feel my internal smile spread
as the Fly and Swamp Rabbit reminded me who I am, and how ”I” live the
mystery. Today, recognize your authenticity
as you live the mystery.
