Sorry.
My dearest buddy has just been admitted to hospital again - he had a stroke some months back, and had pulled together a mighty comeback, though half his body's shot. Was planning to go home on Fri. He's having breathing difficulty and is running a massive temperature and everyone looks worried. For some reason I looked up this pic on the web, taken not long after 9/11; we were in NY to visit the site and do the town, a poignant mix. Anyway, I can't do anything but wait and I have my laptop, so doin' the thing I don't do, which is requesting sends of whatever you personally send in the direction of someone who could use some powerful good, strong mojo. He's a kind of hero. And I love him very much.

Healing MOJO headed his way!!

Sepsis. Ah crap, that can go a lot of bad ways. And he was weak already. Ah crap. We wait, and we see.

yssiM, a right song can hold a cold and skeered little hand and steady a heart. You never miss. I love you. You too, boB, and all the hidey holler people who have somehow turned an ecig juice forum into ... what did somebody say? A place with a soul. Otherwise what the hell would i be doin throwing my personal business into the net like this? But not any old net.

I'm wore out just now and probly babbling - that guy's been my friend and lover and mentor and traveling companion in every sense of the word, and also my complicated catastrophe for a lotta years. He's famous in his part of the world, 601,000 google hits, a ferocious fighter and a controversial outlaw who spent his life championing voiceless persons caught in the wheels of a soul-killing system. I edited his damned book and he called me his teacher in the dedication. I called him my teacher back; that's how we insulted each other. : ) . We were colleagues. He could dance better than any man who ever danced me, and we could fly til 4 in the morning talking on every subject in the world, and he got me, he really did, when I really thought nobody ever would. And I got him, either of us could flight off in any wild and reckless direction and find the other always waitin' to catch right there on the other end. He taught me to love being in my own skin and my own mind and my own heart. And he pretty good wrecked my life, too, and maybe it needed wrecking. I don't think I'll ever decide on that one. Guess I don't need to, really.
I'm talking like he's dead, but after the stroke it's been a really crazy kind of lonely mourning - he's lucid, but just not home any more. Stroke was on the wrong damned brain-side, took the part with the magic and the music away. And that's a damnable kind of undead. But he did his PT triple time, like he was in war training. So determined! The stroke left the warrior in him.

I dunno what now, but ... like the song yssiM put up.

People blow into proximity sometimes for no reason you can figure, too, sometimes, and make a little while of warm and respite from the ain't no reason for it all, and this odd forum is one of those inexplicable blessed collocations, seems to me. The Wind blows where it whist.

And everybody in here carrying they own sack of sorrows, and we know it. So we have just a liddle kindly fun. And good for us. :)

I dun even think I'm even gonna be embarrassed tomorrow morning bout gettin' so nekkid like this. LOVE. Tanks for all them nice words. Back atcha. Night ya'll.

Aubergine,

Perhaps this might be better served via PM, but I'm here now and the thoughts are flowing.

Colocation. It's a wonderful word. The odd happenstances that bring us together and sadly, tear us apart.

I know the ache you feel, believe it. I lost a woman who was perhaps the single best human being I've ever known less than four months ago. All of the wonderful and painful attributes you describe in your doctor/warrior friend were oowned by Jeanne as well. I am 53, she was nearly 75 when she died, but I've never in my life known a woman as sexy nor as comfortable in her own skin. I cannot describe the things she was to me; I adored her laughter and her tears, I hung on every word she uttered, and I still dream of her when my defenses are down. So I understand, I think.

We heal the fastest and ironically can be hurt the worst when we lay ourselves naked before other people. Know that your nakedness, your truth and your love are safe with us here.

I am proud to be cultivating a friendship with you. I didn't really understand the attraction until just now.

Whatever makes us good human beings... you've got it. In spades.

So, I'll not only utter a little prayer for your beloved, but another one for you as well. I think more often than not, it is the walking and weeping, rather than the wounded who really need the prayers.

Hugs,

Paul

I for one am speechless.
Mere words cannot begin to express the love and respect I've grown to have for all of you, whom I consider as my new family, so I'm not even going to bother trying to express myself other than what I just said, and trust me, I don't say it often.
Peace and love to you all, and my heart and thoughts are especially with you and your warrior, aub - this one's for both of you - I think it expresses what i want to say yet can't seem to put into words the best:


YouTube - ‪Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey 11-3-91‬‏

Stay strong.

Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, it looks so phony. Dawn is breaking everywhere,
light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care, cause it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out.
Guess I get the gist of it, but it's all right
sorry that you feel that way,the only thing there is to say,
Every silver linings got a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me, the ables and the beggars and the thieves
The abc's we all must face to try to keep a little grace.

It's a lesson to me, the deltas and the East and the freeze
The abc's we think of, to try to win a little love.

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's all right

Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

Shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause it's all right

Oh well a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway,
That was all I had to say, and it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive.
We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive.

The jokester of the bunch feels inadequate at times like this but none the less is filled with deep emotion. I'll echo what Ciego put so perfectly and add that I will fade into sleep shortly sending positive vibes and prayers your way Aubs :) (((HUGS))) The same goes for medic and the people she lost today, their families, and Bonnie's "bad wing"

:nun: Ode to the Hidey Hole :nun:
My husband has finally gone to work
My children have finished their play
they've gone to bed their stories read
Now it's my time of day.

I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.

I'll talk to all my friends
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.

My friends you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendships true.

And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears, our dreams.

We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond
and it's time to say that of all of you
I've grown so very fond.

So thank you friends for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know I'm there for you.

I really think this describes the group that have gathered here.

Morning, sigh and la. It was caught early, they have him drowned in antibiotics, nothing's shut down, nothing much good to get better for at this point, either, but barring bacterial tenacity and given his he's probly gonna survive, and all I knows is there's a river of love that runs through all things, and especially that li'l crick rins through the hidey hole woods. Thank you, guys.
If ya don't know this one, ya might want to. If you do, you know what I'm talkin about. :)

My prayers will go out to you and your friend Aubs..........life just seems to give us bumps in the road. Hopefully, he will come out of it okay. Miracles do happen; what most people don't understand is you have to believe in miracles.

Missy, I cried through that whole song you posted. We need to bring our Soldiers home. We lose too many. We need to feed the hungry. We reap the food and give none away. We need to thank God for what we have and not blame Him for what we don't have. We need to get rid of slimy politicians and vote for the man not how many ads he can afford.

Sorry.
