I don’t know how to deal with that. And I’m afraid! Afraid for you!

• I am a creative artist. I have the ability to radiate. Lifting my arms above me, I soar above the earth. Lowering my arms, I continue to soar.

In the air moving around my legs and feet, I experience the power of will. I am that

• There cannot always be fresh fields of conquest by the knife; there must be portions of the human frame that will ever remain sacred from its intrusions, at least in the surgeon's hands.
