Poem
Hello, My friend. We speak much of dreams, and well we should. Sometimes our dreams never come true, and sometimes they do. Better to have dreams that turn into nightmares than to never have dreamed. You, my friend, have dreamed and become a dream. I suspect there will be proceeds, and those, you have chosen to go to others and not yourself. That my friend, is the Christ in you who began a good work in you and will indeed, finish it. You have retired, but your life has revived. I detected that early on, you discovered your calling; and in so doing, came upon the secret of life and never looked back. It is no secret of how you have been able to share, to give your life away with such poignancy. You became aware of who you are, and why God made you the way he did. In repeated examples, you indicated that nursing was 'your calling from God'. You took nothing for granted, often taking reality checks, because you are 'the real deal'. God has blessed you with His wisdom, and your quote from Maya Angelou was duly noted. Like Christ, you 'feel'. Your ability 'to feel' enables you to be a conduit, to touch and hug, and generate the electricity of God's love from one human to another. Earlier in the book, I became concerned about the need for humor in the midst of so much sorrow and sadness. Just reading about such trauma made me want 'to escape'. I needed some kind of 'past-time', a sense of 'getaway'. I found relief and smiled later when I came upon an entire chapter given to humor. As the psalmist said, "Laughter does good like a medicine". This book is permeated with the Word of God, and His Wisdom is so beautifully applied in non-religious and practical ways. It should qualify, and I believe it will, as a textbook or training manual. Highly educational, it would do so much good for the medical field; and I would be surprised if it does not become such a tool and bring lots of understanding to the nurses and doctors, and much Glory to The Lord. I can't wait. 080221PS
