Think twice before your wish comes true, Shirin.

A friend of my recently had a brain hemorrhage and didn't get out of ICU until 12 days later, he is my age. He's very lucky to function quiet well physically on his right side and gaining more and more on his left, but the mental condition has everyone worrying about. He recognize everyone but things (thoughts) get messed up from time to time, out of contaxt so to speak.

Release or released, it will never be an one-sided decision when you are part of a larger group...

Has anybody released you, Ms. Shirin? It's been awhile, since you were locked up. If not, let me know, I'll try to help you. :-)

I died as mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was man.
Why should I fear?
When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as man,
To soar with angels blest;
But even from angelhood I must pass on ...

Masnawi by Hazrat

Hi Shirin,
Lifes a fun animal, I wake every morning and give it a metaphorical kick in the nuts and ask it what does it have in store for me today ???
Can't say that I am too happy with it's answers..................

Thats where my choice comes in.....how to deal with this days foolishness !!

As always Shirin a handfull of pixels asking questions.
Have a good one.
;)

Our concern must be to live while we're alive... to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Take care Shirin.

I want to be released - but I don't want to release. An eternal struggle - take care and don't let the bastards (however you want to define that) hold you down.

Don't know if you celebrate Christmas, Shirin, I sure don't. :-) But, regardless, I think at least Christmas brings good and happy spirits to people so cheer yourself up, kiddo! Even just for one day! :-)

Dear Shirin,
Your work and your words are the vehicles that help us know the TRUTH of your country, and your experience. I rely on you for your truth. I look up to you regarding your humanity, and your hope.
It may feel as if it is far from you, how would I experience it myself? The horrors are beyond comprehension. Yet you are connected. Your ability to observe and share come from deep within you. I appreciate your humanity and your depth. A Good New Year - with Justice!
