Within You, Without You (Harrison)

We were talking – about the space
between us all
And the people – who hide themselves
behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far
too late – when they pass away.
We were talking – about the love we all
could share – when we find it
to try our best to hold it there – with
our love
With our love – we could save the world
– if only they knew.
Try to realize it’s all with in yourself
no one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small,
and life flows on within you and without
you.
We were talking – about the love that’s
gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul –
they don’t know – they can’t see – are
you one of them?
When you’ve seen beyond yourself
then you may find, peace of mind, is
waiting there –
And the time will come when you see
we’re all one, and life flows on within
you and without you.

With several strange and sudden deaths I've been indirectly related to over the past year and the current health challenges of my mother (I can hardly bring myself to say the 'C' word) I find myself contemplating how purposeful and purposeless our lives are. If we are all put here for a reason, what is it? Whether our time on earth is short or lengthy there is some divine plan behind it however significant or insignificant it may appear. What measures will we take to preserve life or end it? What limits are we restrained by, how much can we take, how far can we go? Does it even matter? I'd say ultimately yes, but we're never going to fully understand it as we're going through it, just plow ahead and hope for the best.

My mother, Judi, is back at Karmanos for the week having her IL2 treatments. Please keep her lifted up, although the treatment is believed to be beneficial overall, the process is very taxing on the system. She has refered to it as her elixer of life. I say Amen to that!
