Not new, just totally pathetic! Ack!

Man am I pathetic and feeling so sorry for myself.



This is the 26th straight day of rain in a row in Seattle. cannot get anywhere near it.




(massive slash, burn and snippage)


I will pray for my dear friend, James, who is 32 and has small cell lung cancer metasticized. he keeps a daily blog, and he's amazing, at http://jamesvslungcancer.blogspot.com



Please pray for him, doctors give him a 15% chance of surviving, and he's an angel of a person. He is determined to beat it, maybe we can make a difference!



Thanks for reading this far, and listening (kind of).


Peace and Love, Viv (Nawang Tsultrim)



Never give up
no matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in
your country
is spent developing the mind
instead of the heart
Develop the heart


Be compassionate
not just to your friends
but to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is happening
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up"

Well, I can see ya'll are just a bleedin' scarlet hippie blood all over the ground for me. I should tell you that I decided to throw myself in front of a parked car. It doesn't hurt at all, and you can do it over and over again.

I tried to drown in my sorrow, but it wasn't even up to my navel.

But I beel much better after all the great words of encoragement I got from all of you... NOT!

If you could actually pray for my friend James who is fighting a ravenous form of cancer, at a youing age, that would actually be helpful. I must be honest, I ain't very fuckin' optimistic about that happening from many folks here.

But ya never know, hope springs eternal!

 

Hey, Templedragon! I was hoping to see you at Hempfest, but it's just too big, huh? I heard from mutual acquaintances that there's problems with the site for next year? I hope that's wrong.

Anyway, nice to 'see' you and oh, yeah, the rain IS coming down here. I hope you're in no danger of slides where you are. It's pretty flat and far from the rivers where we are.

Oh, and I will light a candle and say a few words for your friend, James. That's my hubby's name as well.

 

we've been getting bucketloads of rain here too (i'm a bit further north though and we did get one sunny day last week). ::sigh:: winter

may your friend james' way be filled with light love and happiness. i hope that everything works out in the best way possible for him and for those who love him.

i once knew a man who beat his diagnosis of small cell carcinoma of the lungs. he went thru chemo and radiation and beat it. it can be done.

ps, welcome back to the forums.

 

Thanks Nimh and Tarabelle (Hi Wooden Bead Necklace), ya'll are very sweet. It actually IS pretty pathetic when somebody starts poking around a web forum looking for sympathy!

We held a prayer circle for James last Sunday. We will be doing that every Sunday until it is not needed. James was there, and he is truly amazing. Courage, dignity, grace, faith, he has got them all.

Who knows why these things happen to people. But it is not what happens to us but how we react to it that ultimately creates our reality.

I've been ill for so long that I don't remember what it was like to feel good. But I am undaunted in my pursuit of Spirit, love & community.

Many hugs and bessings, and love and light to you.
Peace, v-

 

I will light a candle for James, too - great idea, Tarabelle!

You know I love ya, Viv.

*hugz*

But I couldn't help but giggle when I imagined you throwing yourself in front of a parked car.

 

How do you do,Templedragon - James will be in my thoughts - I read his blog - he has plenty of fight in him.My friend Kaz,26 made a recovery from cancer last year and is busy travelling the world now,but it was very difficult at the time,- she had become so weak from the treatment.

The rain can be quite refreshing but I know what you mean - I live in the lake district,uk and it has the highest rainfall in Britain.Gets tiresome after a while - I'm always hanging clothes up to dry.I had to finish a busking trip once too because it rained solidly for 4 weeks and I was stuck in a tent.

All the best,rgpaddler.

 

So sorry to hear about your friend, I hate to hear when others are experincing illness in life so young. I too will say prayers for healing and strength.

Sucks about the rain. I see that type of weather on TV and always say wow that must be so depressing. Will also pray for a break in the rain

peace love and positive vibes

3. I live in England. It rains every bloody day!!!
