Dear Friends,
After a lengthy Waters Hplc much needed hiatus from writing, Im back refreshed and ready to go with my newsletter. Im playing with different formats, so please bear with me. The big change is that Im only going to publish the letter seasonally (i.e., four times per year).
The mountains are green, the weather beautiful, my rose bushes are blossoming like theres no tomorrow, and Sprite, my West Highland White Terrier, is enjoying his backyard once again with abandon here in southern Oregon.
Just over a year ago, I lost my dear friend Taylor to complications from AIDS. He specifically told his partner to tell everyone Full House Youtube to send flowers, that he would send them to us shortly. Last year I got my roses from Taylor. This year, my roses came from another much-loved friend, Ron, who has been gone just over six months and whom I miss more than I could possibly express. In fact, Im choking up Llc Protection I type these words. I did not know it was possible to feel so lonely, and yet, in a mystical way I feel his presence with Steel Bolted Tanks all the Adapter Connector Headset Port Power Stereo In my darkest moments, I can feel his arms around me as I do now. So, my friends, cherish those Boy Gay High School love and take every opportunity to express that love and appreciation to those who matter most. Our place in time does not play out forever, so live, and love without regret.
REFLECTION:
For the reflection this month, Ive turned once again to the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lutheran pastor and Nazi War Resistance martyr. This passage comes from A Testament to Freedom and I urge you to take it deeply to heart. Its a message we need to hear and remember daily. Imagine how different the world would be if each person measured his/her worth by the love in their lives. The passage is as follows:
A life has meaning and value only in so far as love is in it. Furthermore, life is nothing, nothing at all, and has not meaning and value if love is not in it. The worth of a life is measured by how much love it has. Everything else is nothing, nothing at all, totally indifferent, totally unimportant. All the bad things and all the good things about life, all the large and small matters of life are unimportant. We are only asked about one thingwhether we have love or notLife is really not worth living at all without love. However, the whole meaning of life is fulfilled where there is love. In comparison to this love everything else pales into insignificance. What do happiness and unhappiness mean, what do wealth and poverty mean, what do honor and disgrace mean, what does living at home or abroad mean, what does life and death mean where people live in love? They do not Bahamas Deal Inclusive Vacation They do not differentiate. They only know that the sole purpose of happiness as well as unhappiness, poverty as well as wealth, honor as well as disgrace, living at home or abroad, living and dying is to love all the more strongly, purely, fully. It is the one thing beyond all distinctions, before all distinctions, in all distinctions. Love is as strong as death (Song of Antonym Dictionary Online Thesaurus 8:6).
