Your philosophy of life is so rich and so helpful, I believe, to all of us who read your sunday postings.<br /><br />With regard to what Gandhi said, it reminded me of the John Lewis quote that goes something like this: The arc of history is long but it always bends toward justice. <br /><br />It seems to me that in Oneness, we all live and breathe and have our being. And our actions and words, as you say here and have said in the past, create the fullness of the Holy Oneness of All Creation.

Dagan told me once he thought he should have my ashes made into a diamond when he found out that can actually be done because I just love that country song Old Chunk of Coal--LOL! What a hoot! I don't care because I won't be there and told him to save his money but it makes me smile every time I think of it. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-43503554773350913702022-01-31T07:20:09.857-08:002022-01-31T07:20:09.857-08:00A totally different way of looking at life and dea...A totally different way of looking at life and death!

Yes, I like that quote better. <br />We live on in the minds and memories of those we leave behind. <br /><br />It's a drippy, gray day here today. but I'm fine with that. We were at Safeway this morning before 9:00 to get our weekly supply of groceries. With everything put away I<br />am spending a little time sitting at my computer before I launch into my long session of PT. I'll monitor each stretch or action to make sure it is not hurting me. Each day I feel a slight improvement. Just keep moving on.<br /><br /><br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-33314714830822357022022-01-30T09:55:40.361-08:002022-01-30T09:55:40.361-08:00My rating for Eye on the Edge was high when I firs...My rating for Eye on the Edge was high when I first found you nearly a decade ago. Ever since my rating just continues to go higher and higher. Your recent trend to cover the spiritual aspects of aging is, to me, especially commendable. Thank you for your weekly posts and keep up the good work.
