    We are with you. Take care of yourself. Find joy in your life with your son, remember how important you are to each other. I wish you much peace to your spirit.

    johnman,
    Do what you are doing, my friend. Talk when you can, it can help to endure the pain. That pain is the unwelcome balance the joy that we are blessed to experience. Recognize the great gift of your skeptical humor and wit that you share regularly with us. And know that there are times that your contribution offers us all here a 'cookie' that is a unique 'johnmanism'. I can hear the angst in your post but note the warm empathy for others as well. Again that contrast is striking. And welcome. Move on as you can, brother, and stop and rest when needed. Depression often takes herculean efforts to endure. It is exhasting. Honor your feelings, but care to not linger on those thoughts that are destructive to you and tax your sense of yourself. Persevere and remind yourself of your path and how far you have come. Be gentle with yourself. "Shall we go?...you and I, while we can?" Take care, Tim The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

    peace through music Just wanted to jot a quick note on my way out the door to the hospital to see Norm. When your sinking in the mire of doubt and or depression just knowing that there are souls out there who take the time to care and write a few words of encouragement can be inspiring. It gives you the strength to carry on. Thank you all for this unconditional Love. And thank the stars for Marye and all the work you do connecting us all. Holiday blessings to all. To Sunshine Daydream Bob; Not sure what's wrong but sending Good Love vibes to you!

Kristinacatfish & Johnman, Oroboros Aunt, Hawkeye, Gigi's Dave &Chubsib -don't fly away,Steve O and mom, PK, and for anyone who needs strength and light to see you through. Cosmetic organic sesame oil (not for cookies & cake :) helps the joints and organs. Rub TOWARD THE HEART for soreness (kidneys, calves..). When you're sad rub on the heart area of spine. If I had a song to sing. LOL

Am going to paste part of an e mail from my mother, that I just found 2 minutes ago. "Hi. Did you hear about David's girlfriend's father dying this weekend and David discovering this when he went to get him for breakfast. This was David's 40th Birthday weekend." David is my brother. Please, friends, send my brother vibes for shock and mourning, and while you're at it, a couple to my mother to help her gain sensitivity. Am cold all over, shocked for my brother, and with the tone that my mother WROTE me this news. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

My youngest sister (53yrs) passed away unexpectly about two weeks ago. She leaves an older step-daughter and a young son, 16. Their father passed away about a year and a half ago. We are overwhelmed by this loss. I never posted in this forum before but I always read it. All of you are good hearted people. I come to this site because of the joy and peace it generates. All of you are an anchor to me, even in the best of times. I thank you all for letting me be in such endlessly "kind" company.

My heartfelt sympathy to you and yours. Wellbeams to deal with the sadness that surrounds your family at this time. May gentle times and kind hearts prevail as everyone struggles to make sense and connect but may not always seem to say it 'right'. Rene, I gave your get well message to pk, and I am hopeful that such healing can return ("the wheel is turning and you can't slow it down") to help your family tenfold. You are the heart of our deadnet family and although the intensity of your passion at times may seem a burden, it is at that core where we all do connect. Take care, Tim The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

I am disheartened to hear of your loss too. Just remember that your tag says it all, go to the Docks of The City and feel the warmness that surrounds you (especially the people that love you in here). May you get through this hard time not without the waves, but the strength to let the pillars of your dock stay firm throughout all those waves!

docks of the city said: >I come to this site because of the joy >and peace it generates >All of you are an anchor to me, >even in the best of times. >I thank you all for letting me be >in such endlessly "kind" company. docks of the city, that is a beautiful sentiment. I feel the same way. This beautiful place in ourselves is also the source of our strength. I will keep your sister in thought, in this place of shining light. Eyes of the World Right outside this lazy summer home You ain't got time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate Of winter's summer home Wondering where the nuthatch winter's Wings a mile long Just carried the bird away Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world But the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own There comes a redeemer and he slowly, too, fades away And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world But the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own Sometimes we live no particular way but our own And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world But the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own Eyes Of The World Lyrics By: Robert Hunter

I wish to thank all of you for your warm words. I have a couple of standout memories of my sister that are sustaining me. One is from when she was 11, we took her with us, her three older sisters. to the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park. We dressed her up in vibrant red Mexican pancho that belonged to me, and homemade beads. She wore the same outfit to her first Fillmore concert, perhaps the same year. It was a sunday afternoon show and the Mothers of Invention played. She laughted in the strobe. I can see her now. I talked to her son about an hour ago and he is listening to the Beatles. and so it goes........... Peace & Music, down by the docks of the city.
