Thanks for posting this. Yes, a must read, from a very brave young woman, who is facing tremendous hurdles. I'm so glad for her that she managed to become healthy enough to play at the end of this season. Every time she comes off the bench, I just want to cheer for her. She's an inspiration. I hope that she has some sense of that, or that some day she'll realize it and understand how important her writing about her strugglers has been for others.

This is by Miller Williams, poet and father to musical performer Lucinda. She put it to music on her wonderful album Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone.

Compassion

Have compassion for everyone you meet,
even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit, 

bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign 
of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on
down there where the spirit meets the bone.

I can't help but think Brewer's openness and work has truly helped many others whom we'll never know.

Toughness, indeed.
