In this latest project from Oncolink Poet-in-Residence Alysa Cummings, read a comforting quotation and pick a flower that pleases you to go with it.

Regardless of how hurt or wounded the individual may be, there exists a healthy part of the self, straining to flower like a seed that takes root and naturally pushes through the earth toward sunlight.
