[QUOTE="Inderjeet Kaur, post: 206214, member: 16531"] [B][I]It sounds to me as if you are ready to play the game of life to win.[/I][/B] Harry ji is a wise man, in spite of himself. Listen to him and you'll learn a lot. It sounds to me as if you are ready to play the game of life to win. I had a catastrophic stroke that affected both sides of my brain when I was 54. Physically, even today my left side is partially paralyzed and it is most annoying. My sense of time, my judgement and my speech were all negatively affected. My husband was told to prepare for my funeral. When it became clear that I was going to survive, they told him, first that I'd be a vegetable, then that I'd be retarded and finally that I'd never walk or talk again. My doctors had clearly never worked with a Sikh before. I died twice during the stroke, but was obviously revived. This whole experience changed me in many ways. I returned to Gaia with a burning need to do sewa and a body that wouldn't cooperate. I am often exhausted, sometimes to the point that I don't have the energy to even walk to the washroom. For a long time, I too felt "broken, in spirit, soul and body." As the years passed, I began to feel less broken, more mending and mended. In April, it will be ten years since I died, got kicked out of heaven and returned to this planet. Nothing is like it was. My husband succeeded in drinking himself to death, I learned to speak and walk (after a fashion). My chardi kala and all that being a Sikh has taught me has seen me through. I serve now in any way I can. It keeps me busy. So much to do and I live with the knowledge that any morning I might wake up dead. I know my time is limited. One good thing in this whole misadventure is that death holds no fear, no mystery to me. Been there. Done that. So, dear brother, here I am dropping by to talk, to listen. Just to be. This song speaks deeply to me. Maybe it will to you, too. You see, if what doesn't destroy us makes us stronger, surviving such misfortune really can spur us on into playing this game of life to win. Thinking young And growing older Is no sin And I can play The game of life to win... ...And I can play hide and seek with my fears And live my days instead of counting my years... ...A little bit of freedom's All we lack So catch me if you can I'm goin' back..." Sung by the very lovely Dusty Springfield [MEDIA=youtube]XvWiiUgT8Nk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
