I found a word that describes my awakening to living after my run in with breast cancer. From a review of the book: Grace and Grit by Ken Wilber And for anyone that may say her healing was incomplete, she confronts that very well: I sometimes feel that those around me will judge my success or failure depending on how long I live, rather than on how I live. Of course I want to live a long time, but if its short, I dont want to be judged a failure. And she certainly was not a failure, in her five year battle she begins to practice something she calls passionate equanimity: to be fully passionate about all aspects of life, about ones relationship with spirit, to care to the depths of ones being but with no trace of clinging or holding, thats what the phrase has come to mean to me. It feels full, rounded, complete, and challenging. Its a deeply moving and beautiful book. Eyes wide open.
