There is an old Zen saying:
Before enlightenment: Chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment: Chop wood, carry water.
It applies to cancer too:
Before cancer: Chop wood, carry water, buy groceries, pay bills, make love.
After cancer: Chop wood, carry water, buy groceries, pay bills, make love.
Before and after cancer there are bills to pay and water on the sink, socks in the dryer, deadlines, aches, pains, worries, bad TV, great movies, Facebook, missed birthdays, cranky coworkers, amazing friends, too much candy, not enough water, and a poem every day.
