rod,

i used to be afraid of death till i died and came back with this monstor called a stroke. now i accept it, and am not afraid. i want to live now, regardless if it has to be in this flesh and blood known as "human".

i have a song for you. i am going completely FROM MEMORY HERE, WHICH AS YOU KNOW IS "IMPERFECT" LOL. here's a song i like to live my life by. i believe it was written in 1969 by chet powers "aka" dino valente and recorded by jefferson airplane. i'm sure you'll correct me if i'm wrong!!!!!

"get together"

love is but a song to sing

fear's the way we die

you can make the mountains ring

or make the angels cry

though the bird is on the wing

and you may not know why

come on people now

smile on your brother

everybody get together

try to love one another right now

some may come and some may go

we shall surely pass

when the one that left us here

returns for us at last

we are but a moment's sunlight

fading in the grass

come on people now

smile on your brother

everybody get together

try to love one another right now

if you hear the song i sing

you will understand

you hold the key to love and fear

all in your trembling hand

just one key unlocks them both

it's there at your command

come on people now

smile on your brother

everybody get together

try to love one another right now

RIGHT NOW

RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like to live right now and try to smile on my brother and love one another

kim

PL&J ROD!!!!!!!
