Then...
There was, there is, and there will always be a wonderful woman named Amy. Carl Jung says that for the most part the soul exists outside the body. How could this be? How could this not be?
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I worried obsessively over the question, "what if I die?" Thanks to Amy I now spend much more of my time pondering the greater dilemma, "what if I live? ... then what?"
My beloved friend, Nancy, deserves the credit for shattering my obsession with dying. When she heard of my diagnosis she called me to tell me of my place in her heartfelt prayers. She also said that everybody has habits and that my habit was to endure. She doubted very much if the breast cancer would kill me. That black cloud of fear left me as I thanked her and we said our good-byes. That was at the beginning of this new path.
