Thank you for the great images Marc. Life is short and brutish, filled with pain and suffering. Might as well look good while enjoying it.

Brings this to mind (A.E. Houseman again):


Here dead lie we because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
But young men think it is, and we were young.



In any case, if and when the time comes, I will not let myself become an old and sickly (or just sickly) burden to my family. I'll check out, and I'll do it my own way. Ideally, I'll scuba dive deeper and deeper down until nitrogen narcosis leads me to peacefully lose consciousness. "Truly, for some men, nothing is written unless they write it."

About the 2K sacking: Staying in a bad marriage because of the great sex.
Sounds like practicing medicine. Everybody has a complaint. Lots of people that have nothing ,need everything and all I can do is give them something. Once in a while I help someone and they are truly thankful, makes my day until the next patient. I live for those moments, its what keeps me practicing medicine. Someday I'll get it right, just have to keep practicing.

How beautifully morbid.

Truly Marc I can say that when a man breathes his last breath he wishes he had another one. Do not go gently into that dark night.

Now that quote is much better :)

Leaves more to the imagination :rofl:


Here's another one:


Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota


Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year’s horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.

In my FL lurkings I have seen a line that sort of goes along like "I will not take care of myself only to arrive at death safe and sound" What was the actual line and by whom?

I've often said that I don't wish to die peacefully in my sleep. I intend to arrive at the pearly gates sliding sideways screaming like a madman with my hair on fire.

Enough of these dark musings. I have in view the wonderous expressions of nature's beauty, the Grand Tetons and the subtle feelings of love and companionship, Linda. Ecstatic in my realization that I am alive and aware.
Another misquote: God sleeps in the rocks, dreams in the trees, awakens in the birds, but in man knows that he is awake.
I gotta start looking this stuff up again.
