It was an innocent start,
a lunch,
a short trip to a Trader Joe's
and there was more difficulty with my eyes than had been.
Perhaps i was complaining,
sometimes i do,
but then the question came:
"do you ever wish they hadn't taken out the tumor?".
I had a quick response and there was silence after,
a long silence.
I answered simple enough,
with truth,
"never, for other wise i would be dead."
A deep silence enveloped the car,
but it was because all were relizing what it meant,
that little bit of truth.
And the meaning and the wonder of life was clear.

4 had something to say about this!:
I am glad for you Joey, to have survived the tumor, praying you'll continue to get stronger
Who knew such a brief trip to Trader Joes could result in the answer to Man's search for meaning.
So grateful that you're here, my friend...sharing with us. ♥
when we face death it all becomes clear. isn't that something! and yet our society runs from it. what a sadness.
