Another Monday's Wisdom


           

"There is no ‘Light’ in my eyes."


The above picture was taken 5 years ago.

I had just gotten off of life support. (Again!).

My spleen had literally exploded. For no apparent reason.

Adding to the trauma, I had begun the experimental radical radiation treatments for my cancers.

I would endure 80 sessions in 20 days .2 back to back sessions every morning and 2 six hours later. Nonstop for 20 days.

I was struggling mentally and physically.

Look at my eyes, they have no emotion.

The exploding spleen took it’s toll on my body. I bled out, needed 16 units of blood, dropped dead, was resuscitated and dependent upon life support for the tenth time and the battle for my life was beginning to become a tough road.

And look at me now 5 years later, still standing,  still battling cancer,  a couple of years back I died one more time, making that 11 times, resuscitation, life support, the advanced osteoporosis and all my other ailments and issues.

I am at peace with the pain and tragedy that plagues my life. It has been the one ‘constant‘ in my life. From birth to now.

And I am fine with that and all the above.

All I have experienced and survived has opened my life to peace and tranquility.

I am ‘humbled’, simple as that.

I am also grateful beyond words.

They say that we are never given more than we can handle.

If that be the truth then I should have been born with a wheelbarrow, for life has been a heavy load upon the backbone of my existence.

Yet, I am no more special than you, or anyone else.

Why would I be?

We are who we are.

We are not who we pretend to be.

We are all the same, yet no two of us are alike.

No soul is lesser than nor greater than than the soul of another.

We are all equal but we are hindered by our genetic human fallacies.

Our genetically instilled greed and dominance leads us to the bigotry and judgmental behaviors that we so easily display numerous times day.

Until we can evolve past this need to  be the “king of the castle“, we will forever have conflict and aggression in our society.

Be true to yourself and also to life itself.

Practise compassion, truthfulness, forgiveness and integrity.

Ignore deceit,  bigotry, judgements, violence and hate.

Be who you are and who you hope to become. At all times.

Not only as a ploy to obtain an objective. That is deception and of extreme dishonesty. No good can come from that.

The traumas of these past 5 years taught me many things.

The most important of all I learned is that if you want a good life, then become a good person.

Not only when people are near,  but even when you are completely alone.

Since I became the ‘Dann‘ that I now am, my life has been Blessed.

The constant chronic pain and the diseases are a reality. Real is real.

I refuse to allow the cancers, the traumas or such things to define or affect who I am or who I am to become.

Life is a precious gift and I am humbled and grateful for the life I have.

I am “Dann“.

Just as I am.

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Hey America, Sorry To Say, But …….

  I have been told that 1 percent of the American people are running the asylum formerly known as “ The United States of America “. So, what are the other 99 percent doing? A few lame protests? You all remained silent even when both Trump and Musk openly admitted to rigging the electoral computers in Pennsylvania. You all allowed the fascist rapist to STEAL the Presidency from Harris.  You have stood by and allowed your newly appointed Dictator to commit crime after crime.  I remember a time when the American people actually stood up for their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Protests accomplish nothing and only fuel the nutjob’s ego. Now look at the mess you have created!!! Every member of Trump’s administration  is corrupt and and should be arrested and JAILED! He purposely has put incompetent people in charge of key positions across all government departments and programs to create multiple chaotic disarray and confusion. No Dictator in history has ever given up their power...
