Joy on Diagnosis

The radiologist came back to the room. Was I dressed or still in a gown?

I was sitting in the corner, I remember that.

She told me it was cancer.

While the moment froze, suspended like, I filled with sensation and quality of Joy.

Expanding, knowing.

Not the reaction one would expect, but the one I had.

Because I’d known something was wrong and finally the answer?
Or because I knew it was the beginning of a journey adventure of…

…more divine dates

…spelunking into crevices that needed to be discovered within

…I like being bald

…???
