Hi Steph,

I have listened to the same radio stations you have mentioned for quite some time. Just yesterday, I disolved into tears when the "music" or "message" was so overwhelming. I think, lately, that the state of the world comes into play when being reminded (quietly) about my own cancer. That is when the fear rises up...not so much because of my own health, but because the "health" of the world appears to be failing and that affects me greatly.

My husband and I are involved with a homeless shelter here so we see firsthand the breakdown in our societal attitudes towards others. It is at those times that the radio gets a little louder and harder to turn down.

However,your message reminds me to keep my fingers on the dial, to empty the fear like a bucket of cold rainwater after a storm. And to keep forging ahead. Who knows? maybe someday we'll hear Beethoven or Stravinski, instead.

Thanks for the message, Steph. I truly appreciate everything you bring to this site. Love, vickie
