I also wanted to say that in this post you seem (at least in terms of the way you represent yourself verbally) a different person than you have in earlier posts. I didn't know this person (which just reinforces the idea that people are more than who seem to be online). It's really terrific that you have been able to achieve so much under such difficult circumstances. (And wow that there are such great drugs; thank god.) This reminded me of the Rilke's poem "Archaic Torso of Apollo"<br /><br />Congratulations again.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206279041514562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-57457461310183814142013-01-18T05:13:35.048-05:002013-01-18T05:13:35.048-05:00While the realisation is both facinating and to be...While the realisation is both facinating and to be celebrated in itself, lets not overlook the HUGE amount of work and commitment you've made to get to this point. Well Done Tom!!

You're not the things you do or the things people think about you or the things you have. You are the one who experience you doing all these things, the one who experiences the thoughts that are passing through the brains synapses, and the one who experiences the feeling of touching the things that are owned. It's a fascinating concept, and very freeing.<br /><br />It was really nice to hear the whole story (I mean, I'm sure there's more to tell and things left out, but what you wrote above was whole as a story in itself).
