Happy Easter!
Today I picked up a friend's limp, listless body off the ground and put him in his brother's car for his final ride to the hospital. Tomorrow is Easter, and all that Easter means is apparent to me at this moment.
Please spend this holiday - this holy day - with family and friends you dearly love. That good company, our loved ones, are all under attack by ruthless murderous thieves, and every day may be their last they can share with you. Share this day with them. Enjoy their company, and the mutual love and affection with which you regard one another. Let that love be your strength to endure the coming days, that you and your posterity have the power to prevail over the pathological parasites seeking to destroy you, to kill you and take your stuff.
They do not have any idea of the power of love.
That love is your strength.
Happy Easter!
The Frost
(originally by Lady Tzu-Yeh, Ming Dynasty; translated into English by Bruce Lee)
Young man,
Seize every minute
Of your time.
Thedays fly by;
Ere long you too
Will grow old.
If you believe me not,
See there, in the courtyard,
How the frost
Glitters white and cold and cruel
On the grass that once was green.
Do you not see
That you and I
Are as the branches
Of one tree?
With your rejoicing,
Comes my laughter;
With your sadness
Start my tears.
Love,
Could life be otherwise
With you and me?
Thanks for the great message!
Our concern and beneficence to one another is the foundation on which every good thing we enjoy and require depends. I am glad you understand this.
Thanks!

Beautiful pieces, although I am more of the style of Santana and Hendrix, it must be because I am boomer 😂
Me too, i love the blues!
Will respond to your email shortly! But i have sent you a gift.
I once discussed with Carlos Santana on Fakebook (back in the day when my son's bands had Fakebook accounts) the fact that life is an act of war, with every living thing waging a fight to the death with all it's neighbors, and for predators, for the lives of their prey. He changed my life when he pointed out that of all living things, only we can create peace, and that's why we're here.
Thanks!
Our respect, love, and affection for one another is the ultimate weapon. Love conquers all.
good message mr warrior.
Peace , from one atheist!.
I hope to give people confidence in their love, because it is the most powerful motivation possible to act.
Thanks!
Yes, that is what matters, as I always say, what counts is the message and we must not criticize the messenger.
Love is our strongest force, very beautifully written. The best thing about being a Christian is that we don't die, we go home. We only have a short time on this devil ruled earth to be saved by God as a living testimony of faith in Jesus Christ (the power of the cross), even though many will hate that...we are the victors in the end no matter what this world sees.

It is manifest to me that I will do anything for those I love, regardless of the consequences to myself. People that do not love like that, that seek only profits, will only do things that profit them.
Thanks!
Yes, this passion has always been exploited by me, but I won't give it up... because that's what makes people with empathy. Have a great time, stay as you are but grow.

Dear @valued-customer !
I attended the Easter service at church yesterday and got an Easter egg. I guess you probably didn't go to church!😃
I remembered that your friend Tom died about 4 years ago! My condolences to you for your friend who passed away yesterday!
To my esteemed friend @valued-customer , I dedicate a poem by the great Chinese poet Tao Yuanming!
Tao Yuanming 陶淵明 (365–427)'s A poem dedicated to a friend's funeral
Title of the poem 擬挽歌辭
有生必有死，早終非命促。
昨暮同為人，今旦在鬼錄。
魂氣散何之？枯形寄空木。
嬌兒索父啼，良友撫我哭。
得失不復知，是非安能覺？
千秋萬歲後，誰知榮與辱！
但恨在世時，飲酒不得足。
在昔無酒飲，今但湛空觴。
春醪生浮蟻，何時更能嘗？
肴案盈我前，親舊哭我傍。
欲語口無音，欲視眼無光。
昔在高堂寢，今宿荒草鄉。
荒草无人眠，极视正茫茫。
一朝出門去，歸來良未央。
荒草何茫茫，白楊亦蕭蕭！
嚴霜九月中，送我出遠郊。
四面無人居，高墳正嶕峣。
馬為仰天鳴，風為自蕭條。
幽室一已閉，千年不復朝。
千年不復朝，賢達無奈何！
向來相送人，各自還其家。
親戚或餘悲，他人亦已歌。
死去何所道，托體同山阿。
A poem written by Tao Yuanming 陶淵明 (365–427) at a friend's funeral, equating his friend's death with his own.
I hope my friend @valued-customer understands my lack of ability to translate classical Chinese poetry into English!😄
I hope your health and long life!
You have an excellent memory of events in my insignificant life, and that shows how merciful and considerate you are of the lowly you strive to uplift, as by sharing deeply meaningful poetry your mastery of history enables you to provide. I appreciate your kindness to me in this difficult time.
Thanks!
