On your track to
success, never forget that you are crossing many rivers. Yes you are! And each
of those rivers contain crocodiles that may attempt to intimidate you. Never be
afraid; sail on and you will get there. [Israelmore Ayivor]
Sometimes I will call something that happens something other
than a success. A mess. A mistake. Altogether wacky bananas. But my labelling
doesn’t really change anything. Except my attitude. Every success involves
mess. Mistakes. And wacky bananas are good for far more than slip-sliding on…
Chemo is like crossing a river. There are crocodiles. There
is an intimidation factor. And there is fear that some new weirdness will
BEcome permanent. And still, when I embrace my feelings of fear and
intimidation, I realise that I CAN and I CHOOSE TO carry on.
At this point I find myself thinking, it’s NOT so bad. Last time was worse and I got through that. But
that stuff doesn’t matter so much as accepting that everything is what is and
rewriting the scenes or altering the plot is only a way of passing the time.
Sailing on looks like showing up for whatever is up Right
Now. Even though I am scared. Even though I don’t know HOW. Even if it feels
entirely wrong-footed and definitely wrong-handed.
One then another…
I love you, Currie
