Disclaimer: this is straight-up writing of active lung cancer in me but nothing in the #Blotto set of articles has been written with thoughts of trying to shock or disturb. I am using in-home hospice and that's the best circumstance I could hope relative to being in a hospice clinic or, worst of all, to be admitted into a hospital.
The last few days or so have been replete with all the horribleness I'm not willing to describe since you know already any situation with cancer is going to suck and flogging that fact doesn't contribute any information but it does a peach of a job with self-pity. The reason this is newsworthy now is that mitigated somewhat last evening and there was even six hours of the bliss of uninterrupted sleep.
I don't regard any of this as fighting so much as doing the best I can with it. In any case, you can reset your countdown clocks since I'm not planning on pushing out of this trip just yet.
Zen Yogi: why hang on when it hurts and there's more sucky crap you won't tell us?
The Pilgrimages are a large part of it, mate. I strongly felt them so the better answer is I do it for you, my brothers and sisters, and regardless of whether your Pilgrimage was physical or virtual when all carry the same message of love.
There is fulfillment in continuing to write articles for Ithaka and seeing Seraphin moving strongly to carry that forward. While he won't likely write about the same things, he does convey the same word of Hope I have been hoping to bring.
It does nothing but take Hope in the endless hammering of Harvey Weinstein as a blob of abusive protoplasm whose only reason for existence is as rat bait. CNN has even carried a story for a week about how Donald Trump tried to date Brooke Shields. WTF, mates? We want Hope and definitely not bloody soap opera rubbish like that.
Another reason for staying with you and Ithaka is watching Seraphin moving to carry real Hope forward with the effect neither he nor I are immortal but the Hope in Ithaka may well possess the immortality we hope. When others do such a lackluster job of it, doing a better job here of conveying the Hope becomes vital at least somewhere and now I see Seraphin more than willing to do it.
Seeing one article after another turning into a boomer is hugely encouraging to me insofar as that shows me you get it about goodness in them whereas previously I must not have been writing them well enough to make it so clear. Now it seems there's no question and that's immensely gratifying. This is a tremendous part of the goodness amid things which suck.
The informational aspect is in finding that goodness any way you can and even before the point of retirement so there's always something bringing some joy to your life rather than any forlorn alternative.
Zen Yogi: we always need something to do which we know is real?
That's it, Yogi. That's all there is to it. Cadillac Man has abandoned any vestige of his long work life but he isn't lost because he has passions which absorb him and now they can be fulfilled. Mystery Lady doesn't do nursing anymore but she lives in her artwork now and it all comes to the same thing.
Live it!
Much love to you all.
