Mother’s Day

Petra Lentz-Snow May 9, 2021

Getting cancer became an invitation to heal with love, to let myself be part of the equation again, to remember myself, to re-member the core parts of my being and my way in the world.  To allow myself to live, …

Die Before you Die: The Gifts of the Death Lodge

Petra Lentz-Snow April 6, 2018

I was grateful that timing worked out for me to be in our little desert home in the Owens Valley for the pivotal weekend of the expected chemo induced hair loss, and away from the buzz of the Bay Area, where …

Crossing the Threshold: A Cancer Survivors Tribute to Inauguration

Petra Lentz-Snow January 20, 2017

They say people react with a wide range of emotions to a life changing diagnosis, the loss of a loved one or other devastating news.  But no matter if we externally emote with tears, rage, and wailing or internally go …

Remembering Our Most Essential Self: Re-Shaping the Story of Cancer

Petra Lentz-Snow June 21, 2016

The mythos of cancer certainly presents like a picture book dark tale:  A hostile take over of unwholesome, mutated, out of control cell growth that is quite literally aiming to kill us.  Talk about a chilling image!  Posing as an infamous evil …

Yes, I’m writing!

Petra Lentz-Snow November 25, 2015

  Wow!  Summer has just come and gone and here we are now in November!  It’s been a full few months for me, with back to back Lost Borders programs, the Washington Guides Gathering in the Eastern Cascades, and travel …

Harvest

Petra Lentz-Snow June 22, 2015

Pulling out a bunch of multi-colored carrots from the small corner patch planted late last spring, in our garden in the Owen’s Valley, something hits me.  It’s a golden mid-October morning, the kind of day that opens your soul to …

The Writing Grant

Petra Lentz-Snow March 3, 2015

Sitting in front of the blank page for the third morning. In front of the writing program that my lover gifted me during cancer treatment. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, in the summer of 2011, words would flow …

Cracked open: The Nature of Grief, Loss and Illness

Petra Lentz-Snow February 5, 2015

Death and dying are hard topics to bring up in modern day life. Society prefers to navigate around the truth of our impermanence with an unspoken yet powerful “don’t ask, don’t tell” attitude, leaving those confronted directly with death and …

Coming Back

Petra Lentz-Snow December 1, 2014

Radiation is a weird animal.  Easier, by far, then chemo.  Mysterious and invisible, the x-rays penetrate my right breast quadrant every day, while I lay very still and with my arm above my head to ensure correct line up as …

The Yard Sale

Petra Lentz-Snow April 20, 2014

One Saturday morning, about 10 days after the last chemo treatment, my lover found a yard sale that advertised lots of women’s clothes my size.  Floundering about yard sales and serendipitously finding things and (sometimes people) that relate to our lives …
