I am grateful I feel my personal strength coming back. I think I gave it away a long time ago; and I have been careful in regaining it that I do not slip into the shadow elements of psyche that can seem like strength — but are short lived and tend to harm others. So,…

I am grateful for my health tonight; it is coming back. I know one day I shall expire. Don’t know when. Don’t know how. But, man, this last week… really gave me some insight into the possibilities of what might be when I check out. It is wild how pain plays in the mind. It…
