Hey, tell me about march, march, march, march, march. So, March I met also at the canteen it was working there, and she was probably in her 70s when I met her and she would be if I was to classify her in a category of people, I would say she would have been like a Buddhist nun, except I don't think Buddhist nuns actually exist. And so she was like this amp of a pure hearted woman, the most pure I've ever met in her life. And the thing I remember about Marge is that when she was 18, and she was probably 18 in the 40s. So she's old and she was small and petite and stuff and just delightful lady, but she said when she was 18, she worked at a summer camp. And one day while she's working at a summer camp, she had a lunch break and so she rode this rowboat out to the island that was on this lake and she fell asleep.
And when she woke up, she had this apparition. And it was an apparition. She called her, my lady. And so she was able to go home and carve it out of a single piece of wood. And it's probably one of the most spectacular art pieces I've ever seen. So I meet Marge at the cancer unit.
And so we get into this cancer, you know, and I'm thinking while she's gonna do really well with this stuff, and she's gonna knock it out of the park, and we get into the session, and she starts talking to her cancer, and she tells me, you know, I need my cancer. I'm going to what, you know, I need my cancer. Yeah. So, and she said, It was one of the most insightful things that she'd ever went through. She didn't die from cancer, but she had cancer just a little bit and she said the reason she needed a little bit of cancer was because it allowed her to come to the hospital and be part of this women's group. And so if she did is over cancer, she couldn't do it.
Yeah. And so she lived alone, and she's older and so she thought the cancer center was great because had all these cool people in it, you know, there's like all the people in Meditation group, but they're like, you know, the nurses and the doctors and this is a really, you know, supportive staff there. So she said without my cancer, I won't be able to do that. So I need to keep a little bit of it. And she did was a social outlet. It was it was her community.
Yeah is their lifeblood. And so that was kind of interesting that like cancer actually gave her life. Insurance. Yeah, that's a positive way. It is. It was so smart.
