"When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

So, honey, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

When my hands don't play the strings the same way (mmm...)

I know you will still love me the same

'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen

And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

Thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are (oh, oh)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, lo-ud

So, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

But maybe we found love right where we are

Oh, baby, we found love right where we are

And we found love right where we are"--Ed Sheeran

HERE IT IS:

The Mind Treads Through Strange Thinkings When You Have Nothing Left (that you care) To Lose:

For instance, what if there is some type of sacred, or divine, energy, that brings loss to us, so that this energy can effectively see through our ugly past and pain.., into the universal abundance of light and gain?

If we can fuse hydrogen into helium, why not?

We are made of the stars after all...

Perhaps I should tread more lightly and not concern myself so much with corporeal limitations...?

I already feel like an empty vessel.

I want so badly to fill it up

(.take.another.one.).

Despair, Terror, and those other undesirable Types have taken up too much space already.

It's time for this to start to stop.

Everything stops ... Eventually.

*I wrote this on 11-21-11 while waiting for the medical examiner to come and pronounce my dad's "official" TOD.

.****.

My father was only one man. A great man, yes, but I included a more intimate post today because of the thousands of lives taken from us 11 years ago today. I am only one person. We are only one family. The people of New York, the United States, and around the world, instantly lost so many.

I guess I'm saying.., this is my dedication to the victims, the heroes, the dead, the survivors, and all of us affected.

With love,

DAH.

To the people that think they don’t make a difference

Flowers in the Renal unit used to really depress me because they usually meant that someone had passed away. It bothered me because it is an ever-so-subtle way of reminding me that I am not physically immortal. People have all come into our lives for one reason or another and no matter how well we knew that person, they still affected our lives. Did the folks that are no longer with us know how important they were? Whether they were able to receive a transplant or passed away, they all affected each and every person’s life within the Renal Unit. Unfortunately they probably didn’t know because we neglected to tell them about the impact they had on us.

As much as even I don’t want to hear this, we don’t have forever during this lifetime .. but we certainly DO have the now! So why not use your now to let the important people in your life know/hear just how important they are to you today?

In closing I would like to say, YOU MATTER! Yeah, that’s right, you reading this right now! You matter! I feel blessed and honored to have met and learned from each and every one of you. Thank you for being you!

EDIT: for those of you that have been affected by reading this blurb .. I am curious what you have chosen to do about that feeling?
