Dustin Hoffman pretends to be a woman in the movie Tootsie. As a woman he shows greater love, compassion and support than he does as a man. Near the end of the movie he says that 'he just needs to learn to do it without the dress'.
My partner has been diagnosed with cancer.* I find that on the whole, I am in a much more loving, compassionate and supportive space as a result of this news. Now I'd just like to learn to remain there without the disease.
Not that I need the cancer to go away to be happy. But that I can create and come from such a loving and open space more frequently and consciously, and without any other catalyst than my choice to be there.
(*I feel very thankful that it is a form of cancer that is highly treatable, and I expect her to be well again soon.)
