“My reaction on being told that I had cancer was not what I might have expected. I was relieved to finally know what I had to deal with and calm at the possibility of fading away.

I had felt at one with nature and at home in the city. And, critically, I had discovered both a creative capacity within myself and inner discipline to put it to work. I had become a whole person.” LivingCancerLife PurposeCancer Journey Book:Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman Source: Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman
