Looking up...

catinmylapTonight, even though I knew from an astronomy report that the Moon and Venus were going to appear close together, looking up was a pleasant and awe inspiring surprise. Which reminds me of a link shared on Facebook this week that I found impressive, The Most Important Image Captured by Hubble. This illustrates yet again, that some risks are well worth taking.
Another find, an astonishing Mother Jones article on Why Most of What You've Heard About Cancer is Wrong. I won't go into the reasons I think the article is wonderful, because I'm sure each of us, depending on our experience, has our own thoughts and feelings about cancer. Some of my emotions go quite deep, and had transformed it into a kind of nightmarish creature - the monster hiding under the bed in a sense. A childish emotion, yes, but it was the monster that took my mother from us, after all. Even if that happened when I was a middle-aged adult, there were aspects of losing my mother that made me feel - and behave at times - like a child all over again. The article helped me begin to think quite differently about cancer, and for that I'm grateful.
