"What a long strange trip it's been" or so the Grateful Dead sang. Indeed, life is full of wonderful twists and turns, opportunities to consider and lessons to be learned.
As this week brings the conclusion of a long and often times challenging journey, I can't help but reflect that I have no regrets, overall. Sure, there is pain I could have done without, but life is love and love includes pain, so, we must accept the whole package. I am so grateful to be able to look back and see the personal progress I made from a dark, angry, bitter place to one filled with joy, peace and love. The love of my son, the love of great friends and the potential for peace in the future, both for myself and humanity.
I will not kid myself that there isn't some inherit trepidation, even occasional anxiety about what might lay ahead. Like most people, I find it really easy to get into a routine, even a bad one. But there is no stopping progress, no putting the Genie back in the bottle.
I am so full of gratitude and humbled by the support and love that my friends have shown me. It is not everyday that I find my faith in humanity restored.
Thank you to Grant for helping bring me here, to this wonderful, loving place full of friends that truly "get me" and share my hopes, dreams and wishes for the future. Where we can work together, side by side, learn and grow and "Be the change we want to see in the world".

*** PS ***4 words but a big illusion
simple yet emotional confusion
its a animatic intrusion
above all a never ending disillusion.
love knows the art of breaking you apart
making reality depart
tearing you a part
when love dies
it conjures liesbreaking all ties
as a broken heart cries..
love gives you too much pain
drives you insane promises in vain
never trust love again..
