101 Another Fond Fare-well … (04/16/2014) I'm going to be taking a little trip for the next few weeks, and will then be taking a short break from writing for several weeks (if not months) thereafter. As such, you might not be hearing from me for awhile, and I want to make sure you all know how much I LOVE you before I head out … So thank you all for being a part of my life. I am extremely appreciative for all of you who have supported me & my Work, and I am just as thankful for all of you who have challenged me and the ideals I have chosen to share & represent. With that having been said, I also offer the following small parting Gift: ... a reminder of your own mortality … "But what kind of gift is that?!?!?! How morbid!", you might say, and yet it is actually not morbid at all … It is actually the greatest Gift I have to give. For if we choose to regularly pause each day and remember that the next few hours might indeed be our last, then life takes on a refreshed & profound sense of Brilliance & Meaning. For it is in those moments that we remember that we are here not to accumulate or earn or succeed or even "have fun" – for it is in those moments that we remember that we are to serve & care & be Kind to all the downtrodden ... to all the animals who are imprisoned, & yearning to be free; ... to all those homeless who are alone, & yearning for a gentle touch; ... to all our enemies who are hurt, & yearning for forgiveness unconditional. Today could very well be our last day together, my Friends. … So let's get out there and make it a Great One!!! Much PEACE to you & yours – allWays, Scaughdt
