Only the Rocks Live Forever
HELLO GENTLE READERS:
The Arapho have a saying, "Only the rocks live forever". I guess that'a as good a statement about our earthly mortality as one can come up with. I don't mean to be morbid but, we are born "terminal".
I was informd by my doctor the other day that I probably would not live out the year! I have both heart and kidney failure (thank you so much, Vioxx). How do I feel about it? Angry, scared, sad and somewhat curious. You see, I "died" once before. I flat-lined when I had a heart attack. It was so cool! I felt warm, loved and without a care! I was "pissed" when they shocked me back to life.
So, what's next? I'll just keep on keeping on!

None of us ever know how much time we have. You've done and accomplished things most people don't get to. What counts is you've lived it well. My dad died a couple of times before he passed on permanently. He always said it was a beautiful experience. He was angry when they brought him back too. At least you have a small glimpse of what is waiting. Take comfort in that.

Tom!!!
I am jealous that you have had such an experience and can say it was a shame to come back to "life", I've always been very enchanted with NDEs.... I am so sorry for what has happened and even more sorry about why and how it happened. What a pile of emotions and concern you must be now..... I don't know what to say! Do you meditate? What will you do with yourself during this time, how is your family?
