October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Actual Dance tells a story of MY journey in response to Susan’s diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer in 2000
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I post a blog each day with a reflection about breast cancer. The reflections all stem from something in the play.
Day 30: Living With Breast Cancer “Susan and I continue to live on different planes in the Universe. On her plane … everything is going to be just fine. On my plane, I am still standing in the center of a dance floor. And I wait and I listen. . . . I listen with my heart where my love sits for the ever so slight change in the balance of the Universe that means a new and different has been called to form. . . . Is that them playing? The Actual Dance
I have learned that Susan and I experience her year with Breast Cancer differently now 16 years later. This is not unusual. While Susan always tries to assure me that she does not have cancer, I always worry. Our different approach is best expressed in this video called “Our Story.” Check it out.
