[cancer|photos] The chemo bottle ritual, 1 of 12
This afternoon, after we unhooked me from the pump and took a three-mile walk to celebrate,
Bottle the first.
Smashing the bottle inside a ritual cloth provided by Mother of the Child.
The glass, still with the hope and fear enclosed.
Pouring the glass into a catchment jar. We’ll need to upgrade to a larger jar.
Me afterwards, pensive.
Mother of the Child and
I stopper the bottle with the cloth, and meditate on my cancer.
The three of us.
The mantelpiece, with eleven bottles remaining. One down, eleven to go.
As usual, more at the Flickr set.
