Some thoughts on people I recently found out from a good friend of mine in Cali that his second husband disappeared from there last week and has been located in Idaho. I don't know the full circumstances, but judging from J's profile, there is something deep within that scares him. DR and Kev are extremely upset at the lose of J..the sudden disappearance. I know how they feel. The three of them have been together for a good time now...longer than most people manage to keep in relationships. DR has never been this dumbstruck since I have been around...and I worry about him. I know that life is difficult for all of them right now, but they don't need to let it get in the way of their own feelings. Earlier today I went to DR's page and read his last entry in his journal. He said that it is time for action and restart the construction in that home. I hope that J reads that journal while he is away and realizes that there are two people who are waiting for him to come back home...and if they ever read this, I just want to say one thing. Joe: You are a very lucky person to have two people care about you so much like Dar and Kev do. We all search for that in our lives....you have already found it. Get yourself collected again...they won't ever leave you. Dar: Being a person is always about being under construction. It sucks, sometimes, but we always learn to grow with each new experience. Dar and Kev: Don't give up hope; he will return to you...and I am always there to talk/listen if you need it. Peace always be with you.

Much love from me to all of my friends. no matter what trouble they may be going through. Life loves to throw little curve balls at us to see how we will react. We can never give up on it; if we do that, then the daemons will be there to drag us down.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
 Chinese proverb

The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They believe, rather, that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistakes and continually make a new man of himself.
