Life's a journey it may as well be in a good ride. Healthy people take the ride for granted and it's only when the "apparatus" begins to fail that the illusion ends.
I'm meeting a young man tomorrow who no longer takes anything for granted. Daniel Northcott had the world by the tail. He roamed the planet for 10 years and recorded over 1,000 hours of his adventures on video. All he had to do was assemble his movie. He became ill in Taiwan and returned home. His mother didn't recognize him at the airport so ravaged was he by the disease. He was diagnosed with a very rare form of blood cancer.
The prognosis - six months to live.
Mom always told him how lucky he was to have his health. And he realizes now how he took his health for granted. His mission is to restore his health by whatever means. http://www.youtube.com/watch?=J8MZ6ylA8lY
I too am trying to restore my health so I feel as though I am meeting a brother. I feel karma and kinship. I want to see him thrive physically and creatively. I want to witness his miracle.
I admire the strength and courage of my fellow human being. And I want to be there for him. I feel it in my heart. His song is my song.
