Hey, Murray: If your order for a Mermaid comes through, let me know. I would like to place one too!
And, Barb: I wish I didn't have to take all these pills (1 Levoxyl, 4 Sinemet CR, 3 Benztropine, 2 Eldepryl, 9 Requip, 3 Ginseng, 1 Solgar VM-75 Multivitamin), and I haven't felt the need for a "drink" since I was a much younger man. But, anyway ...
I too get enchanted by all that nature has to offer. When I take a walk through a park -- even down a quiet suburban street -- I always try to notice the small, simple things: a tree and how it grows to be so straight and tall; the patterns in a leaf and how all plant life lives in a wonderful symbioses with the human "animal;" the flowers and how they reach for and pull part of their life from the sun; the little chipmunk who somehow knows to save some of what it gathers for the next winter's dearth. All part of some plan that I don't know a thing about but some- times wish I could talk to the original architect about.
Now, if I could only get my butt up off this chair and take that walk. :-) Oooops, I forgot, it's a bit past 4 a.m., Mountain time -- it's still a bit dark outside. :-0
BTW, do I remember someone saying they wanted to discuss spir- ituality and Parkinson's? Does anyone remember what Edgar Cayce said about P.D.? Are there any Theosophists on-list? ... Panthe- ists?
Well, enough rambling for this morning. Have a great Father's Day, all. I'm spending mine in a hotel room in Salt Lake City. ;-) Take care and try to always grok in fullness ... ()
