Jonathan Hutton Writer, paraglider pilot, rare cancer survivor I knew I wanted to learn how to fly after dabbling in skydiving 13 some years ago. The freedom of flying a canopy - being suspended in the air, seeing the world from a completely different perspective - changed something in me. In a similar way, living through a decade with recurrent and rare head/neck cancer has galvanized me to see life, work, priorities through a new lens. I had no idea I was even capable of writing a book, but I’ve come to understand that sitting with adversity, reflecting on the challenges in your life, that there’s healing to be found there. Healing - through writing, sharing, challenging yourself to do that big, improbable thing now - is something you can find, even if your disease has no cure. Life is short, so learn how to fly, whatever ‘flying’ is for you. I have learned so much about what goes into writing a book as a first-time author, what it’s like to hire and work with an editor, how the whole process will change you. I believe these stories will be useful to aspiring authors, people who are trying to find their voice, but uncertain on how to proceed. I am deeply fortunate to still be alive, having navigated not only rare, but life altering side effects from cancer treatment - unexpected outcomes that required reconstructive surgery. I tell many of these stories in the book, and speak freely about them in general, because I know just how unmooring having your body altered in this way can be. I’ve arrived at this place where I know more about free flap reconstructions than most, which is strange, but also inspiring; I am inspired by the providers who do this work, who understand the trade-offs and difficult recoveries their patients face. I’ve met a lot of cancer survivors over the years, people who have suffered, some who found cures, some who are still looking for healing and meaning amidst hardship. In our 4,000 weeks alive, which could very well be less, we have so many choices and pathways, so much vying for our attention. The stories we tell, the ones we listen to, our ability to be present, is a gift. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

The needle hits the vinyl, and with a crackle of anticipation, the 1970s rock album announces itself not with a gentle introduction, but with a declaration of intent. This was the decade where the opening track became an explosive art form, a concentrated blast designed to seize the listener by the collar and define the entire sonic journey to come. From the primal, stadium-shaking riff of Led Zeppelin’s "Black Dog" to the sleek, paranoid overture of The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar," these were more than just songs; they were opening statements. They could be the complex, virtuosic fury of Queen's "Brighton Rock," a gauntlet thrown down to aspiring musicians, or the raw, jet-fueled ignition of Iggy and the Stooges' "Search and Destroy," a three-minute manifesto of punk nihilism years before its time. In an era of album-oriented rock, the first track was the gateway, and 197s artists mastered the craft of making it unforgettable, explosive, and utterly undeniable. Hosted on Acast.
