"ONLY LOVE PREVAILS" ...."I've loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more....."


As we are in the winter of our lives, I dedicate this to Andrew, Dr. John J.C. Jr. and Gary W., MD, (who has gone on before us). My love and admiration is unfathomable for each of you..........and what you have brought into this world.....so profoundly to me.
The metaphors are rich and provocative; we're in them now. This world is indeed disappearing, and the richest eternal world awaits us!
The intensity, as was in each of the three of us, is in yellow!
In my heart forever.........

Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

We're threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood

Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world

I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right

Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world

"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires." ~ Paulo Coelho
“It is not the critic who counts,not the man who who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt

TECHNOLOGY..........

In “Conversations with God”, by Neale Donald Walsch, there is a warning I think of. I refer to it as the Atlantis passage, and I've quoted it a few times before." As I have said, this isn't the first time your civilization has been at this brink,"

God tells Walsch. "I want to repeat this, because it is vital that you hear this. Once before on your planet, the technology you developed was far greater than your ability to use it responsibly. You are approaching the same point in human history again. It is vitally important that you understand this. Your present technology is threatening to outstrip your ability to use it wisely. Your society is on the verge of becoming a product of your technology rather than your technology being a product of your society. When a society becomes a product of its own technology, it destroys itself."

SOLDIER'S ANGELS


Dear Friends and Family:
Last month, I seemed to cross paths in a synchronistic way, with some soldiers about to deploy, some veterans, a few families whose loved one was in Afghanistan, a wounded vet....it kept happening more than usual.  In a moving conversation with a soldier ready to be deployed, and his family, his wife made me aware of the organization, Soldier's Angels. 
I was intrigued by the breadth and depth of this non-profit with hundreds of thousands of volunteers ...to fully describe their work, options for volunteers, and the need for community organizers.  This soldier's wife was so enthusiastic about this organization and the profusion of ways to provide support for a soldier. She offered to get together with me after her husband's deployment to fully explain the nature of those who might wish to support this mission in their own community.   
Soldier's Angels has a mantra:  "May No Soldier Go Unloved".
If you have already begun to think, "Where would I fit that time in my busy schedule?", or "How much do I have to spend on this?"..........STOP!......REWIND!......THINK!
I say this because there are so many ways in which you can support a soldier ....from Letter Writing Teams.....to adopting a soldier.....and on and on.  Soldier's Angels has really streamlined their mission.  If you were to make a commitment to adopt a soldier, the financial commitment could be as low as $9.50 per month, the cost of a one-hour telephone calling card so that the soldier can have communication with his / her family and friends back home.
For a commitment which costs nothing, you can write a soldier a letter once a week.....a different soldier each week.  Folks, let's be honest....you can almost use the same letter each week! And if five minutes a week is too much for you to give to our soldiers, then there are many options which could take even less time.
THIS HAS NO POLITICALLY PARTISAN FLAVOR!  NO MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THE WAR, THE FACT IS THAT MANY OF OUR MEN AND WOMEN ARE ON FRONT LINES, PUTTING THEIR LIVES AT RISK SO THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE DAILY LIFE!  
WE EACH HAVE 10,080 MINUTES EACH  WEEK.  CAN YOU SPARE AT LEAST FIVE......YES!  only 5 ...... OF THEM FOR A SOLDIER IN HARM'S WAY...OR A SOLDIER WHO HAS BEEN SEVERELY WOUNDED....OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, MISSING THEM SO MUCH?
PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS LINK, and help in SOME way:

Thank you!
Merry Christmas!
