SOUL CONNECTION
Talking About Health Issues
My friend Mark and I have kept our friendship alive across long distances for 30 years. We have had a phone conversation nearly every Sunday morning since I moved from Minnesota. We call them our “Sunday Morning Seminars.” In addition to personal items, we challenge and stimulate each other with discussions about the existential meaning of life and, of course, sports. As the years have gone by, and we have gotten older, another subject has crept in: health issues. One morning the ALLEN NOHRE conversation about medical concerns was taking up quite a bit Writer of time and Mark said, “That’s enough organ recital for today!” We changed the subject to the Arizona Cardinals. We still talk about health issues, but it doesn’t crowd out other topics. I am going to take a chance with you, the reader of this Soul Connection column, with a short organ recital. Yes, it is about health. I hope you hear it as a joyful Bach Prelude and Fugue played on a magnificent pipe organ in an inspiring cathedral. Last Sunday, after my seminar with Mark, I went for a walk in the sublime mountains near our home. Invigorated by the 70-degree temperature, I decided to see if I could make it up a hill, the one I hadn’t been able to manage for seven months because of the side effects of drugs treating my multiple myeloma. I’d been off of those drugs for three weeks, I was feeling strong, the gravel was crunching underneath each step, and I made it up that challenging hill without stopping. I finished my three-mile walk ecstatic, as if listening to a great organ concert. I was inspired to be full of health, walking in the cathedral of the mountains. Next Sunday, I will give Mark my health update – a very short organ recital.
