My friend in Federal Prison
Wow, I never thought I'd have a friend in a federal prison. Isn't that where hardened criminals live? Apparently not because my friend is a 63 yeard old nun who was trying to get the School of the Americas closed. Why? Because this is the American school where men were trained in military action and then went out to rape, torture, and murder four women, one, Sr. Dorothy Kazel, a dear friend of the nun now in prison. I imagine if this happened to someone I loved, I'd be in prison, too. My crime probably wouldn't be trespassing but something far darker. I pray I never need to go down that road. My friend, Diane is a gentle soul but with the courage of a lion. My prayers are with her until she gets released, and thereafter. Peace needs to return to the heart of humanity.

Gone in a flash
An accident happened the other night in Cleveland involving a pregnant doctor driving home from work and a guy driving a stolen car. Guess what? Head on collision and the beautiful, smart and caring young doctor may be brain dead. WTF? Her life may be gone in a flash. This is why I do things that others might deem as meddling. Sometimes I like to nudge people into doing things they want to do but are afraid to for whatever reasons. Life is short and we need to say i love you now. So here goes ---- I love you!!

State of confusion
How can you give your love to someone else yet share your dreams with me? Vanessa has said it all ... What is love? Does anyone know? I thought I knew once but it appears my idea is so different from that of others. Maybe I love too much. I would walk miles and miles to see my love. I think sacrifice is a part of love. Aren't we supposed to want the one we love to be happy even if we don't always get our way? I would imagine if people truly loved each other, they would both be happy, making it happen. Give and take ... isn't that what is is all about? I want to make the lives of other easier if I can. Maybe I've been a young fool and I am turning into an old fool. But if it means a choice of sacrifice or selfishness, I'll take the sacrifice.
Do you think you die when you just don't care anymore. I had an elderly German friend once who got so discouraged by the world and he would say, "What we can do?" in his sweet accent. He finally gave up one day and I really think at the moment of his giving up, he started to die. God bless you my dear Mr. Vegh, wherever you are. Thank you for being in my life.
