Variations on a Theme by Niebuhr
by Wendy S. Harpham, MD, FACP

patience to wait when healing requires time,
courage to undergo more treatment when needed,
and wisdom to know the difference.

and vibrates to the snore.

by Felicia Mitchell

the cord for my headphones,
knitting as necessary as Herceptin,
Taxotere, carboplatin, sodium chloride.
