3. Gratitude
I am grateful to all the magic trees
around me here.
Grateful to meeting Brian back in
London, and coming here.
Grateful to my friends who supported
my journey to this place.

4. Tough times
Tough times taught me to use all my
resources. I don’t need to be frightened
to challenge them.
They taught me that I can come out
stronger and clearer in my mind.

5. To my cancer
I am here today because of your
presence in my lungs.
This journey with me over so many years
has been tough, challenging, traumatic,
painful…
And I confess that it was as well a time
of dee p refle ctio n; and eve n of
unexpected creativity through which I
was able to to find a meaning to my life.
One of the most hard challenges was the
search to give a meaning to my life and

6. motivation to continue my journey with
you.
I need to say that maybe now I am
starting to feel exhausted, and out of
resources physically and emotionally.
I always thought and hoped that I could
keep you under certain control, that you
would not be the cause of stopping my
life, or seeing myself too miserable or
extremely weak.
I know my body knows what it means to
be sick since my childhood; and my

7. mind knows how to invent ways to keep
hope - hope is my child.
So maybe let us agree to keep life a
dance. Let our dance be a tango not too
exhausting for me.
And maybe you could decide to leave my
body and go deep beneath earth, because
I love to keep the breath of life.
