Once You Are Diagnosed With Cancer, Time Changes. It Both Speeds Up Insanely And Stops Altogether.

Look, You Do Everything In Stages, Right? I Don't Think Everything Happens At Once. There Are So Many Layers We Are Constantly Chipping Away At, Down And Down And Down, Closer And Closer To What Would Be The Body. I Think What Happened With Cancer, Was That I Woke Up Out Of Nine Hours Of Surgery And I Was Body. I Was Just Body.

Maybe Being Good Isn't About Getting Rid Of Anything. Maybe Being Good Has To Do With Living In The Mess In The Frailty In The Failures In The Flaws. Maybe What I Tried To Get Rid Of Is The Goodest Part Of Me. Think Passion. Think Age. Think Round. Maybe Good Is About Developing The Capacity To Live Fully Inside Everything. Our Body Is Our Country, The Only City, The Only Village, The Only Every We Will Ever Know.

What I Would Argue Is That Real Spirituality Is The Ability To Keep Encountering Two Opposite Thoughts At The Same Time And Still Maintain Some Kind Of Morality And Perspective In The World. It Is Not The Elimination Of One Side Of The Equation Or The Elimination Of What You Don't Like; It Is The Investigation Of Everything.
