" You must not pity me
because my sixtieth year
finds me still astonished.
To be astonished
is one of the surest ways
of not growing old
too quickly. "

look like cell/mobile phone

And who is this?
Another ant steals
the scene!

Don't be shy now!
Pick up your head
and say "Aloha"

How good to walk outside.
My head cold is abating,
I'm one of the lucky ones.
"Healthy People Problems"
That's what I've got,
Hallelujah!
I have a friend
who has MS.
He is much stronger
than I.
What a pretty statement,
beginning,
and ending,
with
" I "
Cause it's all about
me.
As YOU
are all about
you.
Except
when we're
not.
That is something
very special
that happens
here -
but not only
here.
Except that when
it is occurring
we are always
"Here"
indeed,
a very special
place beyond
time space fear.
My friend is strong
despite his body
his " I "
that will not
cooperate.
Those of you
living with
chronic issues
have my deepest
respect,
more than that:
my Aloha,
my love.
Because we all have
this commonality,
that someday,
healthy or struggling
we all
go into
Mystery.
What a privilege
to be one
among you.
Dedicated
to my Friend.
He knows
who he
is.
to my Friend.
He knows
who he
is.

You can always rely on a pearl from Colette. Fine post.
There is strength of character and character of conviction where the two meet is a holy I.
when yuou think about it there's always someone worse off than you isn't there? x
Happy that you're feeling a little better Cloudia..and your friend is lucky to have you for his friend.

Unfortunately, my astonishment is sometimes of how Dumb some folks can be. I try not to go there too often, though. :)
you made me love the sky, then laugh at the ant, then expand my heart with your words of love and respect. :)

Bom fim de semana.

You're a good friend, dear. And surely you're not in "your 60th year." I just won't accept that; denial. DrumMajor
Each of you is irreplaceable!
Thanks Dears

"...we all go into mystery..."
Yes, indeed, pain adds a great narrative to our arc.
I feel so privileged too- and speaking of mysteries- why just the very sound of it makes me curious! Peace, Karen
I think he's lucky to have you as a friend too. It will be an honor to go into mystery with you and your friends when the time comes 'til then, let's enjoy the mystery we're in.
Thank you very much
