One week and 5 days following Chemo #5 – The fatigue begins to lift – following “My Personal Call to Greatness!”
The Pianist – Bach – Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude
The heavy fatigue begins to lift
Joan C. King
The heavy fatigue begins to lift
allowing the energy of life
to infuse me, once again.
In the heaviness of fatigue
I feel immobilized
in density.
The joy of the beginning
of lightness returning
fills me with new hope.
I know not for what
this hope lifts me,
but I know that
life will once again
lift me to new
heights of being.
Joan King’s life path embodies the blending of the hard and noetic sciences. At the tender age of seventeen, she stepped into life at the Dominican convent in her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. Eleven years later she left that religious training to become a chemist, and then received a Ph.D. in neuroscience and psychology. Her twenty-year tenure as a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, lead her to a dynamic crossroads of personal self-discovery. She left academia. Her new found "inner knowing" ignited the writing of her first book. It became the foundation in understanding how our bodies model the teachings of our beliefs. Joan King’s blending of science and spirituality birthed her professional coaching business, Beyond-Success LLC, in 1998.
