Have you read Drunkard's Walk? An opinion? dmsingh

I ran across this song, one of my favorites, done by this musician, also one of my favorites. Jeff Healey struggled with cancer all of his life and it finally consumed him this year. He died much too young and I want to post this in his memory. May God bless you, Jeff Healey. The Jeff Healey...

Thanks for the congrats. This forum is an interesting place. I am mostly homebound, so being able to talk with wonderful people like you is very rewarding. I posted some photos I tool at the Arboretum last spring. I'll post pics of my new grandbaby as well. Its a small world, which may be a...

David- What is going on? We'll never really know, but life is full of surprises, coincidences and synchronicity at many levels. My Dad came from a small town outside of Ludhiana. The Celtic prehistory expansion to India might explain the genetic markers. Intermarriage during the Raj is...

God will find that I have scars. But then God might already know where those scars are; I can't remember them all anymore. thanks for your regards, David

Speaking of synchronicity... A few years ago I was vibrant and healthy (though admittedly very stressed out) when I had a neurological crash that appeared at first blush similar to a stroke. Within hours, stroke was ruled out and the two guesses on the table were brain tumor or MS. The next 15...

Good morning Tao I just noticed that you are in Scotland or at least your ISP links you there. My Mom's parents were Scots (I'll have to look to see which town). They emigrated to Canada around 1900. Last year I joined the National Geographic Genograph Project. The genetic tracing takes my...

Tao You need not apologize for your thoughts. I don't find them combative. I have subscribed to Existentialism- Sartre and Rollo May, Camus' writings. I also find Jung interesting. Have you read much about his theory of synchronicity? I found this info several months ago, but haven't looked...

I may have too much religious input. When my Dad died we had a Sikh ceremony which was really intense. My Mom had a Christian ceremony. I have no proof of a soul. But I have studied Hinduism and Sikhism in a cursory way. And I accept the possibility of transmigration and the existence of a...

She's a honey. I don't know who would abandon her or why. She's had some trust issues, but so do I, at times. David

You are dating yourself, but I'd gladly be your age again. Here's a link to the song Tommy James ? Sweet Cherry Wine ? Listen free at Last.fm I had to add Crimson and Clover. Tommy James ? Crimson and Clover ? Listen free at Last.fm David

I respect your opinion, but I have a different view of life. The totality of humanity begins with the individual. That doesn't mean that somehow I am of great importance. But each of us has a part to play in the scheme of things. I have no idea why I am still alive. I thank God for the chance...

I have had a happy and blessed life. I have few regrets. 10 years ago I was terrified of death and dying. Today I accept my death, not knowing if I will live until tomorrow, or for another 30 years. My Grandmother was Hindu and I have a foundation in transmigration of souls. I also accept...

I have been blessed in sickness and in health. I've come to not fear death. I almost died 4 years ago in the ER. My blood pressure was down to 71/40 and I was almost gone. My family was there and I felt peaceful and ready. Thanks for the scriptures and you are correct- I am on a spiritual...

I was diagnosed with Guillan Barre or a similar disorder 10 years ago. I still suffer the symptoms and effects, but there is no known cause for my condition. There are many diseases or disorders with no known cause- some are life threatening, some are life ending. My first diagnosis was that I...

Thanks. I'm slowly figuring things out. I do okay for an old guy.

Yusuf Islam who was Cat Stevens wrote a song called Father and Son that I've found poignant and true for me and my own children. I left home when I was 18 and my son left when he was 18. It was a difficult time for me and helped me realize what my own father had experienced...

Hi Zen- it is Monk, actually dmsingh is my username here. My Dad came from India in 1930. My extreme dislike for racism and bigotry comes from my experiences growing up as a mixed race kid. We'll have to talk as friends, separate from topix. David
