Finding an avenue of expression is more profound if it's shared. Of course it's up to you but I wanted you to know its worth.<br /> <br /> When I had my first run in with cancer at 27 my parents took me and my son to a hotsprings resort for a week. It was Easter weekend and on the way there, we stopped at the monastery in Mission on Good Friday. The place was deserted and one of the monks gave us a tour of the place. Aeryn, you know I'm not very religious but the place filled me with a sense of peace and knowledge that I was going to be okay.<br /> <br /> A few years later, when the abbey was seeking donations for a new bell tower, I sent them $25 and a letter explaining why. I still have the handwritten thankyou card they sent me. A reminder that everything is rarely as it seems. <br /> <br /> I am a survivor - I am sending vibes of strength and keeping watch on you by way of your blog, Aeryn – this poem needs more exposure.
