Spiritual Athlete

Every Canadian knows Terry Fox, a teenage athlete who lost his leg to cancer, continued to train as a runner and ran across Canada with one leg before he succumbed to his illness. His mission was to raise money for cancer research so others would not suffer. A legacy for our own journey – spiritual heroism, undaunted effort, magnanimous vision, valiant heart – the training begins now for as along as it takes. A talk given at an Ottawa Buddhist Society Quaker House meditation. Oct. 19, 2012.
