A few weeks ago our family went to Costa Rica for a week. Altho
I'd never thought of it before, i somehow became very fixated
on the idea of going there. I told my family that my goal was
to see a waterfall in the rain forest. so several days into the
trip we chose the way we wanted to see a large waterfall near
our resort. We drove to a mountaintopvillage and went w. a guide
on horseback for a 45-minute ride, left the horses and hiked down
to the bottom of the waterfall. Our guide was a handsome, warm,
friendly young man that we all liked right away. The view from
the bottom of the falls was awesome, white fumes of water against
dark jagged rocks. When Victor finally made us leave, we began
climbing the muddy trail towards the top. As we walked, he taught
us about the rainforest ecosystem, teaching us abt plants and
herbs as we walked. He pointed out plants that were now being
rediscovered as medicinal that were commonly used by Costa Rican
Indians centuries ago. I felt compelled to ask abt any medicinal
treatments discovered for use w. cancer. Victor said no, not yet.At
our next resting spot he turned to me to ask whether cancer was
close to me in some way. Altho I'm usually very private about
my shaved head, I for some reason stood up and took off my straw
hat. He looked momentarily stunned, then stood, removed his cap
and turned to show me a bare back of his head with an ugly scar
across it. I sat, shocked and cried all the way thru his story.
When he was 19 (7 yrs ago) his brain cancer was so bad that his
drs. said there was nothing more they cd do for him. His mother
had promised not to let him die in the hospital, so they removed
him out to under some trees near the hospital. Lying under the
sky and the trees, he "experienced" God and heaven and was told
that he was not yet ready to die. He began to recover and is now,
as we saw, running up and down his mountain several times a day.
He's even had a precious daughter, an impossibility for a man
who's undergone radiation as he has.
He gave me wonderful advice and hope and trust in whatever will
happen. It was an amazing, religious experience; you'd be hard-pressed
to consider this whole event as a coincidence,wouldn't you?
