this winding, unkempt road
Encountering unknown,
unfathomable pieces of life.
Encountering undiscovered fragments
of myself.
Epiphanies.
Breakthroughs.
A learning experience like
no other.
Like a snake molting, or
the layers of an onion,
Cancer peels back
unnecessary masks,
expendable protections.
No longer hidden,
or camouflaged.
No longer a chameleon,
accommodating each occasion.
Liberty ... permission
to experience feelings,
express emotions,
allow confidence.
Never would I trade
this journey,
this evolution,
this constant state of becoming.
Thank you, Cancer!
You've provided integral
introductions.
"Pleased to finally meet you,
Yvonne."
Amen!!
