A collection of Oc’s personal reflections on life and its obsessions: including orienteering, the Big C, the Omnipresent One, cryptic crosswords and other O’s and C’s. With thanks to those who coined my nickname ‘Oc’.
You've discovered my online journal. Welcome, and don't be shy to read it! The blog started as a way for me to write down, work out and share the ins and outs of being diagnosed with a sarcoma. But life is always much, much bigger than our afflictions. So read on through this collection of personal reflections on life and its obsessions. For me that's orienteering, tramping, being Māori, being on the cancer spectrum, God, movies, books, cryptic crosswords and other minutiae.
