Cancer Dharma 3

7 Comments

This back pain sent me to the oncologist. It’s gotta end. I am a wimp when it comes to pain. Meditating on the pain helps. Remembering I am not the pain. Remembering I am not this body. There is a blessing found in this opportunity to mindfully explore Terminus.

We visited the food trucks for supper. I had delicious handheld chicken pot pie.
These days there is a collection of bottles that accompany me.

Scheduling Surgery

I need minor surgery to change the stints between my kidneys and my bladder.
Off we went into a foggy, future, now.
Waiting on the doctor. He is scheduling the surgery for mid December.

It was a dark and stormy night when it first appeared in the theater.

It was 2021. The pandemic was in a lull. Folks were feeling brave and coming back outside.

The hungry ones queued up. The bread lines were long and slow in those days.

The bread and pastries are delicious.

Personal Notes

1, I broke a tooth. The dentist appointment is at 2 pm. I suppose I should take a shower.

2. Like every night, I left my shoes outside by the door. When I went out, one shoe was gone. In the dim light, before sunrise, I looked around. I spotted a shoe like shape on the next parking pad. I walked over and it was my shoe. A few bite marks, but it was usable. The bites give it character.

This is the culprit!
The chew toy

3. The trip to the dentist : I had 3 broken teeth. It was the three breaks. Papa break, the mama break and the baby chip. An hour and a half and $135 later all were repaired successfully. I was out the door.
I was only aware of mama break. The other two were surprises.

I think I’ve discarded my irrational fear of dentistry after only 60 years of living with that fear. Becoming nobody and practicing thinking new thoughts is paying off.

QOTD: Do not let people’s opinions of you mold your destiny.
Let unhappy people have their unhappy thoughts.
Continue on your path courageously.
— Haemin Sunim

Thank you for stopping in for a visit. Your visits lift my spirits. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. The sickness is spreading rapidly here. Peace, love, and joy.

1. I’ve taken a new approach. When my Trump supporting friends post risky Covid ideas and cures, I heartily encourage them to do what Trump recommends.

2. Not a particular man

A man lived alone
A man walked alone
He played alone
He slept alone
Ate alone
And died

3. Every day, you have to wade through a relentless surge of soul-less facts.
The experience tends to shut down your sense of wonder.
Every day, you’re over-exposed to cynical narratives that have been sucked free of delight and mystery. That’s why you have to make such strenuous efforts to keep your world enchanted.
I like to think I can contribute to the sacred cause of feeding your sense of wonder and enchantment. ~ Rob Brezsny
