What the "Fox" that about?

Entering the world of chemotherapy was unchartered territory and I decided to tackle it on a day by day basis.  The bedroom was spruced up with much good will from my friends and it has proved a good place for me to work from home in peace and quiet.  Fortunately it has not been called on much for enforced rest.  I guess that comes into place post operation.

No matter how much you read, or how much anecdotal input you have, the effects of chemotherapy are, at some level, unique to the individual and require an individual approach.

I gave myself a concrete structure to work in, broken down into day components and used that as a framework to relax into.

It has been of benefit in easing me through the phase.  The next cycles to commence around the end of September may be a completely different challenge.

The Poem is called "The Magus" or "The Magician"

The cunning fox knows not rules
Guilt is food only for fools
Do morals feed its hunger?
The wily fox must scavenge and plunder
Walking the tightrope everyday
The sleight of hand is its natural way

Mr Fox is a better narrator than me

The concept of the poem is simple and can be encapuslated in the phrase "Needs must when the devil rides".  The fox is opportunist because it does what it has to in order to get by.  It is mercurial and "fleet of foot" in its thinking, taking advantage of every opportunity that comes its way with its practised craft. It does so without discerning right from wrong; without the baggage of conscience.

That's a magical way and it's living a day at a time, a simple way to approach unchartered waters
