(Jane called last night. This morning I took the lawn mower out to the shop a couple of miles outside town on Wellsburg Road. When I returned home I visited our next-door neighbors, the Bumbalos, briefly. They were getting Joe up to go to the doctor’s office for blood work. He is very weak, and couldn’t get up himself. I believe his death is near.

(Jane called early — before 9:00 p.m., as I was getting ready to type this session. An insight concerning my questions about the role of diseases came to me after supper, before I began typing this session, and I want to note it for possible future discussion. Regarding my visit with Joe Bumbalo this morning: He has cancer. I found myself thinking about the cancer being a new, explosive growth within a body that was aging. That growth was fated to bring about not only the death of its host, but the cancer itself. So what was it doing, behaving in such a fashion? Was Joe Bumbalo giving birth to a new life form that upon death would be released to continue its growth elsewhere, just as we believe Joe will do after his death?)
