Heard Diana Nyad’s interview with Michael Krazny on KQED, a public radio station in SF-Bay Area few days ago – it’s live in the morning and replays at 7pm in the evening and now available on podcast. Wow. I mean… Wow. I especially heard the wisdom when she talked about this single mother of 3 who is organizing a food bank for their neighbor – putting yourself out there need not be as dramatic as her’s (the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, 110 mi or 180 km, over 50 hours of swimming…), as she talks about being humbled by someone who makes a quiet difference in other people’s lives. <\/p>\n

She seems to be saying that, it need not be all about “self” “Self” but caring for others is just as meaningful – as what goes around, comes around – I say like a “boomerang”! Indeed, a personal triumph can take many shapes and forms. My cousin just saw her mother through the ordeal of cancer treatments and hospice care – visiting her nearly everyday, cheering her up everyday, being her health advocate everyday – As a caretaker, she had her own struggles but put her mother’s care to the forefront…I respect her for that and I know there are many out there with similar struggles – it’s just not so easy to die or write your own script for your own end these days – to transform what feels so impoverished, to something that empowers – there’s so much beauty and courage in that. Here it is <\/a>– prepare to be inspired as she says, it does not have to be her “way”, in each person’s way, we each “find the way”. <\/p>\n

Every human being on this planet has their pain and their heartache and it’s up to all of us to find our way back to the light.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
