For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God.We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state and our educational system.We are here to drink beer.We are here to kill war.We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.We are here to read these words from all these wise men and women who will tell us that we are here for different reasons and the same reason.
When I start a new class at the college where I teach, I always refer to it as an adventure. An adventure isn't always great, and it doesn't always go where we hope it will go. But there is always something to be learned, and something to be gained by having taken it. Many times, there are unforeseen, unexpected riches. So I'm calling this my Breast Cancer (BC) Adventure.
