When life changes and familiar roles fall away, it’s easy to feel unmoored. This reflection explores the quiet invitation in those moments—to pause, listen, and remember we are more than the roles we’ve played.

Connected or Separate?  – The Wave Story

When I shared this radio show with my writing group, my friend Holly shared this poem facing the same question. Follow her on Substack: Holly Lamond

Abundance

That night I knew, the next day confirmed

Lost was the life I’d known

Down a dark road but never alone

Today, a river flows, altogether unexpected

A late-night work call with colleagues in the UK

A walnut-like lump found under my arm

That night I knew, the next day confirmed

Control is a delusion once diagnosed

I traded frequent flyer miles for frequent treatments

Lost was the life I’d known

Cancer caused me to change course

Treatments left me parched, cracked, uncertain

Down a dark road but never alone

Cancer drained my canyon of complacency

Opened me to the abundance of light and rain

Today, a river flows, altogether unexpected
