And so it went away...


In this case, as in many many more, images say more than a thousand words.

Gabriel keeps smiling, and says that I look like the bald little boy in The Matrix... You know, the one who bends a spoon by looking at it and says, with grave intensity, when questioned about how he does it: "...try to realize the truth--there is no spoon".

So, I am trying to realize my own truth, namely, that my (non-existent) hair is only relevant as far as it symbolizes every little battle we are fighting to get my hair, my youthful and energetic self and my health back.

  1. thank you for the arresting photo. I can picture Gabo's bemused, smiley face. The comparison to the little spoon buddha is fitting, given how you similarly spread compassionate wisdom to those in your midst. You are beautiful.

  2. Is it possible to see a photo of the new and beautiful hairless flying piglet? ;-) Or perhaps with one of your lovely African head wraps?
