Cancer Is Relevant

"Relevancy" — Jason Arnold — http://redbyrd.tumblr.com/

Says the artist about his iPad sketch, “Relevancy” is about how words are taken for granted until something urgent happens.

For me, cancer was just a word — until it crashed into my world. Now, the word has relevance in everything I do.

What word have you taken for granted that now has relevance?

    “Sandwich Generation” used to just be a term I heard thrown around without even thinking about it. Now when I hear it (which I seem to do with increasing frequency), it is completely relevant and I listen carefully to hear the stories of others. In reality, my story is not that bad but arriving in the “Sandwich Generation” can certainly be life changing!

  • Love that sketch – it’s fantastic. Cancer was an abstract thing before diagnosis . . . a far away idea, until it actually happened. Then, suddenly, it all becomes real.

  • What a great sketch and great post. Of course my word is cancer too. As it is with you, now that word influences just about everything I do… It doesn’t define what I do, but influences. Big difference.
