We can conquer our fear–
of cancer,
the pain it causes us,
and the prospect of death.
Our fear feeds our cancer–
making it grow larger than life.
Let’s make the choice
not to feed our cancer.
The starting point is
feeling our fear,
getting to know it,
then over time letting it go.
Cancer isn’t our fear.
Fear is what we experience
when we feel unprepared
to confront lingering uncertainty.
Reality is uncertain by nature.
Certainty is an illusion
that we hold onto
to stave off our deepest fears.
We have but this moment
at any point in our life.
Let’s work on living fearlessly,
breath by breath in each moment.
