By TLB Staff Writer: Lucille Femine

Now that I’ve been diagnosed with cancer, is my next step an outpouring of my pain and suffering? Well, maybe I can disguise it as “enlightenment”, if I could reach such lofty heights. But what’s the point of speculating about why I’m writing this?

As long as your intent is not to harm, you can say whatever the hell you want to say with no apology or need to please. In fact, stripped of those compulsions, your words will always have meaning. They would come from that magical, invisible place: you.

I never know where I’m going when I start an article; that’s the adventure. But to hold onto some structure, I’ll return to the subject…which is what? Just a minute, I’m thinking. Yes, it started out about death or its apparancy provided by the medical industry, its really another creative impulse peppered with the relative unimportance of my life’s events.

The joy of life reaches way beyond the pitiful body we think is such hot shit and into the vastness and often scary unknowness of who we are and whatever we want to become. When death seems imminent, we sometimes go into the past and try to import its cargo into the present as a kind of life support. But that’s a heavy load; it consumes attention reserved for only present moments.

It is dead life. In these times of highly threatened further existence on this planet, it is more and more vital to live, regardless of the smallness of individual life circumstances, even the real possibility of death in some near future.

So what is the next step when death is calling? Its not to dress it in panic and loss; that simply hastens it. Or to “get your affairs in order”. Hold on again, I have to perceive the answer. I’m not a planner. Its not to search for it in data from the past or in tomes of dusty philosophical jargon but to let it come to you as you sip your coffee and admire the trees outside.

Nothing else matters or carries so much life and its spontaneity. Don’t try to imagine life that’s already there. It’s flirting with you to fall in love with it. Sure, get in touch with family and friends, write a will, give away all the things you don’t need but those are just things on your to-do list and not even at the top.

So my next step is to keep pursuing the knowledge of life whether I leave this body next week or many years from now. The present moment can be a million years, however we consider it. Life on earth could have been a mistake; we were meant for greater things. But its got some great playing fields.

My plan is to continue writing for the Liberty Beacon among other valuable things to do …

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
