3 thoughts on “coffee in late fall”
I needed this now. My dear friend who is BRCA2 haunted (after conquering breast cancer 3 years ago), now at age 50 has ovarian cancer and is always looking over her shoulder at the pancreas, which has also been flash-bulbed into the cursed genome. So, we have coffee…often (she doesn’t dare consider wine anymore) to distract and focus on what is most important: live life fully, love unconditionally, forgive fiercely. I read my friend your lovely haiku and now her motto is–for as long as she has breath–“Let’s haiku this moment!”

You hit the target with this one. Smiling and cancer are indeed possible.
