In 1988 hundreds of thousands of acres of Yellowstone National Park were burned in massive wildfires. The devastation was immense, but the lodgepole pines that make up most of the park’s forest depend on fire to release their seeds. When the rains returned, up to a million seeds per acre began to grow.
What has been the rain that allowed new life to return for you after a time of loss?
About 10/12 years ago I was treated for breast cancer, Although I was courageous and trusted my medical team, I felt that a part of my body had been violated and ill-figured. This was an incidental part of the process but the follow up for 5 years with medicine intended to block any cancer cells that could have become aggressive became an unwelcome daily routine. However, even with this devastating time in my life, I am more than grateful to have, to date, been free of a return of this cancer. Praise to research and treatment that helps those of us survive.
