Feel free to call me Mark if you'd like to. One of the things I appreciate most about serious illness is the way it strips away everything that is not essential to our lives. It's often uncompromising in its insistence that we live our lives with deep soulfulness and it can remind us, sometimes fiercely, that we have no time to lose.
Michelangelo said that he didn't create his famous David de novo out of a piece of rock; rather, he asserted that he freed the already-present statue from the fetters of its marble block. He chipped away at the obscurations, revealing the hidden work of art beneath layers and layers of stone.
I strive to model my medical practice after the way Michelangelo worked with his hammer and chisel: Whatever condition you're facing, especially if it's complex or long-standing, is like a chunk of rough stone.And yet, beneath the veil of symptoms and your body's many attempts to maintain balance, there lays a David-a potential you that is capable of healing.

While everyone's healing journey is unique, perhaps you can identify with some of these experiences:. You were recently diagnosed with cancer and your oncologist has prescribed a course of treatment. You're taking some time to think about his recommendations, and you're wondering if there are other treatment options to consider.
Having cancer can be really scary. And then there's cancer treatment. It can be a rite of passage that asks for resources you didn't know you had to give. The good news, though, is that cancer can also be a profound, if unasked for, invitation for personal transformation. How are you supposed to face cancer, this Unwanted Guest, in order to discover the blessings hidden beneath its heavy burden?
I'd like to propose a paradigm shift that's as subtle as it is powerful-one that I hope resonates deeply with you. The truth is that we human beings are not machines; we are vastly more than a mere sum of our (irreplaceable) parts, and yet modern medicine treats us as just that-as gadgets comprised of ever-tinier bits and pieces that are as prone to malfunction as they are susceptible to the vagaries of genetic inheritance.
