As Blissful heals from a bilateral mastectomy due to breast cancer, she reflects on the person she wants to be going forward.
- Blissful is incredibly lucky in only having to undergo a radical surgery to rid her body of cancer.
- Step by step walking through her neighborhood, she slowly recovers back to her hiker self.
- The American writer Joyce Carol Oates speaks of the moment we realize that loss is part of our experience. “When that starts to happen to you, it is quite stunning.”
- Being out of control with illness is falling-to-the-knees humbling for Blissful and it's a challenge to stay positive and "bad ass."
- But she's inspired by the late actor Julian Sands who spoke of climbing summits as "not so much a celebration of oneself, but the eradication of one’s self-consciousness. And so on these walks you lose yourself, you become a vessel of energy in harmony, hopefully with your environment.”
- What a way to live!
MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
