~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mind numbing reality,
hanging on by
fingernails that
have already been
chewed to the bone.

I am so sorry mark. So sorry. I may cry. I will continue to hope for her. And pray.

14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

I feel so stupid and helpless, don't know what to say, don't why I replied I just could not stand the silence.

thanks ST all we can do now is hope
that the experimental hormone
treatments work, a few years ago it
would have been totally hopeless......

where there's love, there's hope
and a heap load of love means a mountainful of positive energy
showering your home, heart and mountain with love

mindswept hope
heart thunderous love
open the door and let it flood you with strength

We never know what's standing on the threshold until we open it
face it
We never know
I suppose I am one who would perhaps not want to know
just happily live, love, laugh
blissfully unaware
of the secret struggles within
but we don't often have that luxury
we are
slapped in the face
dragged into
the exstreams of life
and it makes you want to scream

Here is to holding on to the strings of hope
and watching them balloon into
magnificent healing possibility

magnificent healing possibility

the healing possibility of words and thoughts

I consider the possibility she will not live to see sixty five

I focus on her face, this woman I have loved for over fifty years.

I listen to the sweet sounds of her snores

I have always hoped a good death would find me before my siblings. I still hope I get my death wish.

"when i die
where i go
nobody knows"....john lee hooker

ST, i find that for myself and i can
only speak for myself, there is
comfort in the belief that i'm
going back to where i came from,
the place that's before i was born,
no fears, no tears, just the mystery
of the unknowable...................

A brief appearance here and I will return
I have no sure knowledge where I came from
but I am drawn to the sea

darkness was upon the face of the deep;

the moon in the water
the ocean is my wildnerness
The deep
Tiamat
Chaos mother
my mystic home

Sister sister
She has no peace
A little girl lost
looking for shelter from the storm
and a room of her own.

I feel for you keenly, because it is your own potential loss you grieve, not the potentially departed's. Although it is the greatest test of unselfishness this world knows, one must be happy for the departed to speed the onward journey and gain release from suffering, not sad. No set on this stage ever stays the same - even Metheusela's act (?) had to depart. There are no ends, only transitions. Be well. Be strong. You will meet again. The Redwoods fall. The continents submerge. Stars burst into supernovae. The Redwood's buds sprout anew. New continents emerge. Nebulae birth new star growth. And the wheel turns, oblivious of griefs narrow confines. But, damn, it hurts.

Be well,

lenny
