I find them beautiful; and I am reminded that cancer cells are simply our own cells misguided. They are not invaders or outside forces. They are inherent to our being, failing to follow orders. I see their beauty while wanting them to obey the dog-gone rules!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460881702249079009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-560996308726396172012-12-14T16:01:49.105+00:002012-12-14T16:01:49.105+00:00Hi, just some general remarks, then packing it in...<b>Hi, just some general remarks, </b> then packing it in for today - suffering from a chest infection.<br /><br />There did seem to be a lot of concurrence on this, which I hadn't quite expected, but greatly appreciated. Brian came up with what had been my initial response when I saw those images in the hospital waiting room. A large room, say small hall size, and they were side by side round two sidea and a bit. I don't have the words to tell you just how stunning they were. I think I have never seen a more truly beautiful set of images of that size anywhere. And I thought, No, you can't just put them uup in front of patients who may have the disease. Hank, too, picks p the point of handles reducing fear. <br />Interesting reference by Jim to Dennis Potter. Thanks for that. And Aaron too talks of being able to speak of what could not have been spoken about. <br /><br />Thank you all. Most grateful.<br />And to Faysal, Jose and Arron: a warm welcome. Hope to see you again.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-13169727816842793702012-12-14T01:51:38.532+00:002012-12-14T01:51:38.532+00:00ah those flailing arms of reason-

I’m rediting/revising/reworking (really not sure what the right word for it is) my short story collection and one of the things that crops up a few times throughout the stories is how useless words are in fact one of the characters spends his entire time on the page going on about the word ‘home’. <br /><br />Loved the Tallulah Bankhead line.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-54454493229482230002012-12-13T12:40:51.457+00:002012-12-13T12:40:51.457+00:00I will second what Brian has already said, Dave!I will second what Brian has already said, Dave!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-48749030194354410582012-12-13T12:33:07.477+00:002012-12-13T12:33:07.477+00:00Yes, agree with Brian.

For some, keeping a journal is a powerful tool. For others denial (not just a river in Egypt) is their salve of choice. Thinking positive, change of diet, increased exercise - I think the supports are as individual as the people who need them.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
