Last week I
was at a Commonweal Healing Circle meeting held at their retreat center in Bolinas,
CA. It was an extraordinary gathering of
people focused on small group work that “touches the soul and helps us find our
way”. Each day I experienced the power
of circle practice and listened to stories shared about transformation and
healing. The rain and heavy morning mist
kept me from climbing down the ropes hanging off the cliffs to walk the beach
and feel the power of the raging waves far below. Instead, I walked the deep green forest mindful
of the poison oak, awed by the calla lilies, and lost in deep thoughts about my
life and cancer journey. Towards the end
of the week one early morning after walking the labyrinth, I wrote, “again and
again the goodness that surrounds me lightly brushes my soul; strengthening my
resolve to fully live each day as my cancer slowly spreads.” What is your resolve today?
