Happy New Year to you all, and…

[Broccoli24]

Here’s a poem that helps get me through the darker moments…

And here’s hoping that some of these clinical trials turn up something that looks curative soon.

Happy New Year fellow warriors!

The Peace of Wild Things

By Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water,

and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief.

I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light.

For a time I rest in the grace of the world,

and am free.

Thank you. A great way to have peace in the midst of the unknown.

[Broccoli24 in reply to FlyJ]

It really is.

[ARIES29]

Yes, I agree with the peace a visit to country can bring. Beign one with nature.

[Broccoli24 in reply to ARIES29]

It restores me!

My pleasure.

For my reminder calendar:

As I have grown older

I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible

................................but................................

Pissing everyone off, is a piece of cake.

Happy New Year.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
