TheBanyanTree: Cool, Mister; Can You Do I t Again

[A. Christopher Hammon]

Ah, Woofie, there is that question again ... "Can you do it again?" It 
felt good just to write a fun piece yesterday. I keep intending to do 
adaptations of some of the things that I have been writing around my 
journey with cancer. And I occasionally think about just posting them 
here as they are. But since most of my writing is done for an audience 
of chaplains, counselors, and social workers engaged in the provision of 
holistic spiritual care, I've been reluctant since I tend to move from 
my experience as a cancer patient to my questions as an educator.

On the other hand, I need to be doing more fun writing about this stuff 
... like how to steady yourself for a walk around the nurses station 
with a dozen pumps hanging off a single pole or the chaplain who brought 
me a Guinness in my hospital room for St. Paddy's day or the day I told 
the uppity resident that my doctorate wanted to talk to his doctorate ...

I will work on this and thank you for the encouragement. Usually I just 
feel guilty because I am not holding up my end of the conversation and 
sharing my stories.

Cheers,
Chris/
