It's not just that.
It could be wonder.
It could be beauty.
It could be being loved unconditionally for the first time.
It could be all kinds of things.
But it happened to be cancer for me.
And so in that journey, I had to drop under the pain, the fear, the worry.
Again, not to run from it, but to access something larger than me.
And this is maybe the difference between effort and grace, you know, so that the effort is to be ready so that when grace comes, you receive it.
And, you know, we can talk about grace very simply outside of religious connotations as the larger currents of life that we're always connected to.
And if we're open to them, they will carry us.
I'd never been through anything difficult, so I was terrified.
I mean, every doctor or nurse I met, I said, I'm Mark, put me out.
They thought put me out was my last name.
And of course, I couldn't be put out because this was my journey.
In order to be ready in case I needed to go into surgery quickly, they couldn't give me anesthetic ahead of time, so it wouldn't be used up.
So I had to go through all these things pretty much awake.
or with local or things so there i was being challenged to feel it all to face it all so i had my first chemo treatment i went into a holiday inn with my former wife and dear dear friend who were still dear friends after all these years and the only medicine they gave me was oral so i started getting sick this was after i had a rib removed in my back so
Two weeks earlier, so I'm getting sick and throwing up every half hour and feeling like it's got to stop.
And I was feeling afraid, in pain, not sure what's going on.
