DEFEAT

Sue was out over 5 years from the surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for her cancer and  looking good when I asked "how are you doing? She smiled " I am doing fine".  Then with a sideways glance and not much more than a whisper she soberly confided " but the Dragon is always behind the door!"

When the chance of survival is uncertain and the prospect of a dramatic change in life is just too scary to consider, some simply refuse to read the writing on the wall. Instead, they hunker down and plow ahead, taking on more and more, moving ever faster and faster, burning themselves up and others out in an attempt to suck down every last drop of life. At such speed, wisdom cannot be found and her whispers are rarely heard – but the Dragon's voice always will be.
