Breast cancer- a brave admission in art form

Breast cancer- a brave admission in art form (poem- a tercet)

——

I saw this picture in the pexel collection,
I admire her bravery in admission
against femininely- accepted definition.

The pose seems to be for art-form
many would think it was not so warm
to be received as a new norm.

Mastectomees-by-choice will not frown
at the new level, she has taken taboo to,
for they will approve, too, privately with their open gowns.

I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.- Angelina Jolie

This message came through my nurses’ group chat today. I am not a Christian, but I find this very true, indeed!

Here’s the English translation 
”Definition of “hospital” … by the Pope.

POPE FRANCISCO ALWAYS SURPRISING WITH HIS REFLECTIONS:

“Hospital walls have heard more honest prayers than churches …

They’ve seen far more sincere kisses than kisses at airports …

It is at the hospital that you see a homophobic being saved by a gay doctor.

The “patricinha” doctor saving the life of a beggar …

In the ICU you see a Jew taking care of a racist …

A police patient and a prisoner in the same ward receiving the same care …

A rich patient in the liver transplant queue ready to receive the organ from a poor donor …

It is at these times when the hospital touches the wounds of people that universes intersect on purpose
divine and in this communion of destinies we realize that alone we are nobody!

The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only appears at the moment of pain or the real threat of definitive loss “

Hospital, a place where human beings strip off their masks and show themselves as they are in their true essences.

A SHOW OF ENVY IS AN INSULT TO ONESELF — Divine-Royalty

Envy is the root of all evil and it give birth to jealousy! It burns you from inside out. Do not get envy of others success. Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others As you are about get your own success. Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have […]

Is this pup a pug?
as I looked at the picture
printed on my mug.

This is inspired by a story of a wrinkly pug ” The Pug.” while I was drinking my mug of cofee.

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”– Vivian Greene

I wonder if this depicts the current Covid-19 pandemic. Is it about learning how to live with it?

***********************

It is raining cats and dogs out there!
Remember to take your umbrella!
But then comes the wind
and inverts the brolly!
When the floods come,
washing bodies of cats and dogs.
Is that what the idiom means?

My dear amateur gardener

was so happy,

her pot of flower blooms…

for the first time!

It’s a mixed-species hibiscus!

A hybrid of red and white!

Awesome surprise!

But …

it only lasted one day!

The next day

another bloomed!

Such a short life of a beauty!

In the utter stillness

of water,

almost like a mirror,

the reflection is so clear,

it mimics nature’s beauty!

In the quietude

of one’s mind,

one sees clearly

as ones reflects!

The days society brought us up.

It was raining heavily. My paper umbrella was huge but tattered with holes. Seven-year-old me reached school, totally a wet rag doll! The teacher wiped me down. She took off her warm woolly sweater for me.

She was a warm motherly figure whom I remember to this day. If she is still alive, she would be about ninety-year-old.💐💐💐

Going home, I reached a flooded bridge over a huge drain. The water current was seen rushing under the gaping wooden planks of the bridge. I stood and cried. A middle-aged ice-cream man put me on the back of his bicycle to cross that bridge. He put me on the ground and gave me an ice cream! I continued to walk home.

I was in Hong Kong several years ago. A tiny little girl with a seemingly huge backpack walked across the street.

“How can her parents allow such a little one to be on her own? Is it safe?”

“Ms, you will be surprised how many cameras on the street are watching over her! In Hong Kong here, it is very safe!” The taxi driver chuckled.

Does your society (schools, neighbors, relatives, government) watch over your kids?
