I have difficulty coming to the core of your conclusions as my thoughts travel a different pathway. <br /><br />I find integration of scientific findings, be they chemicals and neuronal electrical firings within the brain, with still mysterious elements reassuring and exciting. Some matters are either/or, black or white, yes or no, but most intriguing to me are all the others.<br /><br />Always, I come back to the individual and how we each are so different though we are also the same. An approach best suited for one person may not be for another. Hope is not necessarily withdrawn to select individuals by their being honestly told their life situation and could even be a comfort, I suggest. Withholding such information might well be wise for another person. We each might be wise to make certain our loved ones know our thoughts, wishes and desires on such issues. <br /><br />I'm glad you're putting these burning thoughts on paper rather than allowing the suns ray to burn through your eye's lens incinerating them in your brain, possibly along with the essence of you.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-61983253867745188012009-10-22T17:53:26.014-06:002009-10-22T17:53:26.014-06:00Ah,Roberta - get thee to the public library (or to...Ah,Roberta - get thee to the public library (or to Amazon.com) and take a look at the books written by Allison McGhee (Shadow Baby, Rainlight, Was It Beautiful), or Kathi Appelt's The Underneath, or The Porcupine Year by Louise Erdich. You'll feel much better about children's literature afterwards...Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.com
