Josh Blue

Hi All,

Today, I'm posting a clip of one of my favorite comics, Josh Blue, who has CP also.  If you haven't heard of him, there's a myriad of his videos on YouTube.  I just chose a cleaner, rated-G clip, which is hard to accomplish, I might add :)  At any rate, hope you enjoy!

Dreams


I came upon this poem by Langston Hughes and thought it relevant to my current mindset.  Coincidently, he is also one of my favorite poets.

I hope you all enjoy this and have a fabulous weekend!

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Langston Hughes

To Love


This week, with the passing of a dear friend, I pondered what it means to love—to open your heart—knowing you will eventually hurt in the end.  Love is the selfless act of giving and receiving; therefore, a gift, a gift that can never be taken away or destroyed.  I came to the conclusion love transcends all boundaries—all barriers.  Yes, it is worth to love, I think, because that love will never fade; never die.  It is that kind of love to be preserved in the heart as long as we live.

Love you, John…Till we meet again.

Grief


"My grief, I find, is not desolation or rebellion at universal law or deity. I find grief to be much simpler and sadder... All the things he loved tear at my heart because he is no longer here on earth to enjoy them. All the things he loved!"
- John Gunther

This is a quote from Death Be Not Proud.  For those who do not know, the story chronicled the struggles of Gunther’s teenaged son, who passed away from cancer in the 1940s.  This week, when visiting an ill friend and hearing of a passing of another, I thought about the quote and how it echoes truth—about death and how it leaves such a void in the heart everytime—a void in the inner being and how we miss them so.  It is a grief that is always there; that always surrounds us in our wake.  We can only find strength to move beyond that saddness in the belief that they find rest and peace when they are no longer with us.   It is definitely that Hope that sustains me when I lose loved ones that are dear to my heart.

Have a good weekend!
