Suresh said:
The past, dreadful when it was present, now recalled as cause to strengthen your resolve to live the future to the fullest for yourself and those under your care, has brought you to a solemn state of mind.

Life\'\'s journey is full of chances to learn and improve and your verse tells the fact of you doing just that Dan - - instead of curling over in failure you have taken the way to the stars and won.

\'That which does not kill you makes you stronger\'
You have gathered together the rocks through which you stumbled and fell and with them built a mountain from where you can see more clearly.

Yep, to be horribly pessimistic: The 3rd line near the end: \'No use getting up when you are down; give up, I say; makes sense to me!\' (heehee).

Such a moving and touching piece of writing here which you have described incredibly well and to enhance the awareness and issues of such conditions. I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the future and that somehow you learn how to cope. God bless, Poetic Dan.

Any decease that makes one dependent on another for existence only, (while suffering in pain or not even remembering) and being bed ridden is painful to watch.
Not many family members have the emotional strength to provide the necessary comfort, as is your sister, or Goldfinch.
Thou poetically expressed, it is expressed well

This quite touched me - my father had it and never knew me any more towards the end. He would have been devastated had he been aware how much he was affected.
But if he had been aware he wouldn\'t have had it. Well you know what I mean.

Oh Dan - religious nuts aside - this is quantum physics and I totally believe in it (foregoing the strychnine and snakes that is). Applied Kinesiology, waves of energy around our bodies connecting us to something bigger, positive thinking absolutely! Quantum physics makes me dizzy when I try to understand it but it is a field that is well and truly developing.... and so you are on the right path just by opening up yourself to new positive ideas! This is awesome. He sounds very much the scientist to me -

Once again a lot of wisdom in your words.
The video though is quite another matter.
The guy is selling you an idea and using very good proven strong sales technique. He is reinforcing what you already feel to promote other ideas which are new to you and radical. A well used selling method to get you to buy into the new idea. Finally he reinforces the radical by once again telling you something you already know ... belief (the placebo effect) is 95% proof of anything.
The world is full of Examples of this selling technique being used to promote anything from water filters to condominiums. The Christians used it to gain power over the masses.... other religions too.
Once you are a believer, a true believer, then it\'s difficult to shift your belief if we are talking about ideals rather than products. You aint going to believe for long in a water filter once it starts chucking out crap water and making u ill. But if you are convinced that there is a wholesome god up there somewhere who\'s son died on the cross for YOUR sins (what bloody sins) and you must accept all the punishments he slings at you (like famine, hurricanes, still births, handicapped babies) because \'they\' tell you you must accept it.... if you have become that much of a believer then you are so \'sold\' on the idea that its gonna be near impossible to get you off it.
So be careful about what you accept as a belief. Feelings - he was 100% right about - but you ALREADY KNEW THAT.

I feel we need to beware of that video. Jesus says \'They will take up serpents, and drink deadly poison, and it will not harm them\'. But it may have a \'spiritual\' meaning.
Some of it is just tempting God, I think. I mean, we would not normally handle snakes nor drink poison. Some turn it into a religious mania.

Dan,
A super poem! Love the pic! Jorja is a beauty! She looks like she’s ready to take flight!
Have you seen “Rocketman”? It’s a great movie...if you’re a fan of Sir Elton John!
Through your writings, we’ve learned a great deal about you! All I can say is you’ve come a long way! You’ll be a great dad to that little girl who’ll be meeting you in September! She’ll have an awesome dad!

Careful with that wind M8. Though TBH i\'ve never smelled an eagles fart. Great picture, she has you just where she needs you and you are just where you want to be. You are supporting her so she feels at home in the beautiful background of life.
You are i hope right in that we exit peacefully... for some it hasn\'t been that way though.
