Keep Calm, Keep Going | Michael Bryson's Blog

Michael Bryson's Blog. Writing that goes everywhere, man. Keep Calm, Keep Going. December 26, 2014. 8220;Keep calm, keep going,” is what a friend emailed me when I sent out a note about what was to happen to me on December 4th. I was to have open heart surgery, a triple coronary bypass, which I did, and it’s three weeks ago now. I kept calm, I kept going. I have a feeling of happiness unlike anything I’ve felt in a long time. The doctor operated on my beating heart. Before I was discharged from the hospi...

What I learned at “Camp Widow” | Michael Bryson's Blog
https://michaelbryson.com/2014/09/28/what-i-learned-at-camp-widow
Michael Bryson's Blog. Writing that goes everywhere, man. What I learned at “Camp Widow”. September 28, 2014. For the past two days I attended “Camp Widow” in Toronto, one of about 120 widows and widowers from across the continent. There were even a couple of folks from the United Kingdom. I was one of 10 men, apparently the most to ever attend one of these events. There have been 10 since 2009, run by Soaring Spirits International. Local sponsor: Hummingbird Centre for Hope. Based in Waterloo, ON.).

Michael Bryson's Blog. Writing that goes everywhere, man. October 21, 2014. Back in 2011, I made a list of all the book reviews I had ever written and I posted it to this website. The first review I ever published, Milan Kundera’s Immortality. Appeared in the University of Waterloo student newspaper, Imprint, in September 1991, which meant my list three years ago captured two decades of book reviewing. Reading and Ranking: Selected Essays and Reviews – 1991-2011. The subtitle was apparently going to be:.

Vote Death | Michael Bryson's Blog
https://michaelbryson.com/2015/06/29/vote-death
Michael Bryson's Blog. Writing that goes everywhere, man. June 29, 2015. Okay, it’s a dumb title, but snappy. It’s been a while since I’ve written about the need for better palliative care. So I took note of the Canadian Cancer Society’s decision to publish an election document. For the first time ever in its 77-year history. More significantly, I noted that the document has three themes:. Palliative care right there, in the top three. Now what does palliative care have to do with health? It can be a pro...

Michael Bryson's Blog. Writing that goes everywhere, man. October 14, 2014. Soooo Not the first time I’ve written about Mary, but something drew me to her tonight on YouTube. She’s retired her persona now, but in 2002 I was having a very bad year and I took myself to a small club in Toronto and saw someone I knew nothing about, and haven’t forgotten. The video below is a 26 minute mini concert. There’s much more online. Who is this performer? What’s the deal? Content not for everyone. I warned you. Carle...

K | Michael Bryson's Blog
https://michaelbryson.com/2015/04/27/k
Michael Bryson's Blog. Writing that goes everywhere, man. April 27, 2015. This “K” is from the floral clock in Niagara, taken by Kate, my late wife, in 2009. K is also Kafka, and the protagonist of Kafka’s The Castle. A novel about trying to get beyond unfathomable barriers. Which could be a metaphor for many things, including living with and dying from cancer. What does it mean to go on? What does it mean to be denied entry to the life. We were supposed to have. And yet continue to exist? Both of these ...
