Righ...Hey, Dan - it is good to see you angry, man!! Righteous anger, properly focused, is a powerful force. That force will help you give your disease the bird and lead you to many more and much happier birthdays. You may call yourself a ghost, but that beats the heck out of being a zombie -- which is what most of us are until we get the "wake up call." Luke 12:16-21 is a stern admonishment to those who fail to place importance on that which has transcendental value. I doubt that, having gone thru this great trial, you will ever lose focus again. THAT is the best kind of do-over. Happy Birthday, Dan. Praying for you as are other friends.<br />Joe B.Joe Botananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204764336397533788.post-72126838767779089112010-01-30T17:00:30.368-06:002010-01-30T17:00:30.368-06:00I want to suggest a book called "Awareness: T...I want to suggest a book called "Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality" by Anthony de Mello. Although I am not surviving cancer at this moment, I am surviving other things, and I think what you have experienced is what I am reading about in this book. It's called "waking up." You are naming it being a ghost, but it is actually the other people with their styrofoam lunch containers and market report and such who are asleep. You, my friend, have a bad case of having woken up. So, better to wake up at 42 than after you are dead.

I can TALK about that better than I can write about it.<br />*I sat nodding my head through your whole post. You're totally right. We are ghosts... notice how ghosts are juuuuust a little wiser?<br />*And though you didn't want to be a member (neither did I)- Welcome to the cult. <br /><br />Now for the paddle.................Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768543185587699356noreply@blogger.com
