I recognize a prayer for "faith and help" when I see it. I recognize it because I've prayed many like it. My best one went "I'm willing to do anything You want me to do, that I might live". As much a breath as a prayer. Skillful work my friend!

And here I thought you two were only referring to each other as bro's in the figurative sense. Duhh... Glad you enjoyed your time together. My "little" brother and I still get along really well and I'm pretty proud of him too.

Hi, Elie, my name is Don. Thought I'd introduce myself, since I've started posting and commenting more here since around the time you went into your coma. I've got more than a few demons in hibernation myself. Like you, I'm enjoying my daily reprieves. I have one disease, with many aspects. Addiction.

There's nothing sadder or more pitifully unnerving than a cat's cough. Our cats Misty (tortoiseshell female) and Teaser(blackspotted white male) are about ten now. Here they are play-fighting. Wishing Pumpkin gets better Maso. We love our kitties too.

Grieving is hard enough without all the guilt, shame, blame and anger thrown in. This is a sad situation indeed!

I'm sure you know to keep trying to move now and again. Nothing worse for the spasms, as you know, than complete bed rest. Glad you sought out and received some help. It is not wimpy, but rather an honourable thing we do, when we look after ourselves. Good luck!

One of the most awkward and funny things for a teacher is to see a student in a public place. Same with doctors and patients. Seeing as I work at a walk-in, I figure I've treated about a quarter of our city's population by now. I do notice that as you grow older it bothers you less. It's as though your two sides civilian and civil servant eventually merge.

...ahh the torments of passion. I'm seeing an ant-pattern in your writing. I'm wondering whether these are reminiscences? Perhaps of a past life? Thanks for your special way of seeing things. Loved it. - Don

I will look for something pleasant and unexpected in my day tomorrow. Beats negative thinking. If I don't look for it, I might miss it. Thanks for this pleasant meditation, Buddah.
