- Small encounters with nature may bring comfort on difficult days.
- The writer plans to plant bulbs and hopes to see them flower.

## Summary

The writer, who has incurable bowel cancer, reflects on Princess Kate’s comments about the role of nature during cancer recovery. They say her recognition that there are good and bad days, and that time outdoors can matter, has prompted them to pay closer attention to small signs of nature as a source of comfort and hope.

Diagnosed in summer 2023, the writer’s annual resolution has been to go outside at least once a day, though cold, dark and wet weather can make that difficult. They describe birds in a street tree, flowers near their cancer hospital, an allotment by a bus stop and changing autumn leaves as simple ways to connect with nature. They plan to plant two bulbs on a windowsill and hope to see them flower in spring.
