Kris King during chemotherapy for breast cancer, 1979

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

-Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks

In this episode, Kris reads from her book My Heart Has Wings, recounting her thoughts and emotions after her first mastectomy.
