Anyway, thanks for reading my blog! I really appreciate it, and of course I appreciate your good wishes and kind words, too!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-29908534685691388922007-06-01T10:51:00.000-04:002007-06-01T10:51:00.000-04:00Hey Michael, Just passing through, did anyone catc...Hey Michael, <BR/><BR/>Just passing through, did anyone catch that the title is off a Talking Heads song? :-) Took a few days off this week and this is one of those few occasions I decided to stay home instead of traveling somewhere...so I''m catching up with your blogs this morning. I think the last time I posted (besides the one a couple of days ago) was a year ago when I was off to Sri Lanka. <BR/><BR/>I wish you well as you spar and battle on with this cancer. I think you writing about and sharing your experiences are helpful and inspiring to me. I do not have an illness anywhere near the magnitude and level that you are on, but do know other folks who do and going through a similar situation. Somehow, reading about it is comforting. Maybe it's because your writing points and confirms this so called "universality" and "oneness" that Buddhism talks about. I'dunno, but that's how I feel. <BR/><BR/>I have to check out Kikujiro. I haven't seen too many movies lately. Take care you!

Because my blog contains so many references to my health situation, I wouldn't feel comfortable accepting an award for it. It would be incompatible with my intentions.<BR/><BR/>I've been nominated for other awards that didn't require my consent or participation. But now, I have the chance to do what I believe is right. Thanks just the same, though.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-17891667847773431312007-04-09T01:13:00.000-04:002007-04-09T01:13:00.000-04:00Hey, good luck with the health issues, and thanks ...Hey, good luck with the health issues, and thanks for the recommendation.<BR/><BR/>Have you been to my blog lately?

Sometimes, I feel completely detached from what's going on inside me. This sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes I wonder if my absorbing myself in the details is a way of denying these realities. You know, like losing myself in the minutiae is a way to forget the bigger picture.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-10551971344912684592007-04-08T22:45:00.000-04:002007-04-08T22:45:00.000-04:00I remember when I had my scare.
