Can I live as I am dying? As I sat by her bed, knowing in my heart that she was dying, I watched in awe as my life-partner gathered all her strength to hold a pencil and stuff wool into the legs of a soon-to-be sturdy felt pony. Monica had very little physical strength left, yet she focused her attention fully to the task of finishing this beautiful pony. Almost ten years have flown by since her death, and this pony stands firmly on my bookshelf where I can “say hello” every day. Monica lived as she wished to as she was dying. She died with a smile on her lips. Best, David 🏮

Hi beloved community! I learned from my dad to be the same genuine me no matter whom I’m with. When j was around 7, dad would take me on his rounds in shoe factories that he owned. If the workers were struggling with a shoe last dad would gently and respectfully show the worker where the problem was. I could tell the factory workers loved my dad. Then we would go out to dinner with some rich and powerful people, and dad would be the same genuine human being. Thru those experiences I learned to be the same genuine me no matter who I’m with. What a gift!! And added note “I love you all beloved community, because of all the beautiful things I’m learning about you all. My life is enriched because of all of you. Thank you and bless you
