To be nobody but yourself
in a world which is doing its best,
Night and day,
to make you just like everyone else
Means to fight the greatest battle
there is to fight,
and never stop fighting.
e.e. Cummings
I think music in itself is healing.
It’s an explosive expression of humanity.
It’s something we are all touched by.
No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.
Billy Joel
The secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
not to worry about the future,
or not to anticipate troubles,
but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Buddha
Oh, to be only half as wonderful
as my child thought I was
when he was small,
and only half as stupid
as my teenager now thinks I am!
Rebecca Richards
I really love this last one… and could definitely relate to it a few years ago!!
A favourite of mine:
“I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you no-body too?
Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
Emily Dickinson

Hello, who posted this piece of mine? I couldn’t tell from the web site and thus I couldn’t thank them. How are you doing. I ready to get in the ring and wrestle with my esophageal cancer. 11 weeks of chemo therapy starts on Monday, followed by a very, very serious operation. I keep telling all my body may be broken, but my spirit is not – but I have never had to deal with this much chemo therapy before. We’ll see. *

Hello Richard… I wish you well with the chemotherapy and the surgery. I’m not sure if it is the same, but my father has had oesophageal cancer and is now in his third remission, so let’s hope there is hope for you my dear friend. Sending you healing white light. With love and hope, Kate.
