Nature as Therapy​​

You might think that nothing good ever comes of cancer, but I’m not so sure. Of course, the way it reveals the kindness of friends and strangers will never make up for the suffering, but sometimes it’s good to be where there’s no politics, no religion, just people doing whatever they can to help ease the path of their fellow travellers.
