Dear Life, Arlene, my sister, sent me this photo of a beautiful flower growing in the weeds. How is it that something so unexpected and so beautiful can come from the tangles and weeds of life?!? Cancer is teaching me how to love myself and others unconditionally. I keep learning lessons of kindness, empathy, generosity, and seeing beauty amidst the weeds. I walked my neighborhood yesterday. Saw daffodils and tulips emerging from gardens covered with dead leaves, sticks, and winter’s debris. I see myself in the mirror emerging from years of cancer treatments, A Beauty In The Weeds, happy for another day. Today is Palm Sunday. Ah, the childhood memories! The procession of life continues thankfully.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
