The mind can go in a thousand directions

But on this beautiful path, I walk in peace

With each step, a gentle wind blows

With each step, a flower blooms.

-Thich Naht Hahn


Breathe...come back to this moment...I notice the sound of the gentle rain on the metal roof. Opening the door to the deck I see the new limes on the tree, the orange hibiscus blossoms are opening, the air is moist and warm.

Breathe...come back to this moment. I notice the thought, " I have cancer".

Breathe...come back to the moment.

Cancer is only one thread in the tapestry.

Only one.
