It is obvious that the statement, "what does not destroy us, makes us stronger", is not true, but:
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Also:
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Hi Jeff,
Wishing you a very speedy recovery after this scare. much love to you and your family.
Anecdotals: One of the best things to take for this is serrapeptase. I have known folks avoid stints and statins etc by using this. [url]serrapeptase.info[/url]

He also says: "Recovering. Grateful for a smart, loving wife. And hurray for socialized medicine: publicly-funded MRI within three hours of entering hospital. God bless Tommy Douglas."

There he goes, one of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.

Heartbeats.
Before all things reborn again You learn the painful breath of time Cold mourning stretches out your arms To the mighty warmth of the golden sun Seems all have gone insane for gold All was created out of the night We're all born from the burst of a star The day you'll come to life you'll realize Expanding force to life where you belong And in the winter cold, with opened eyes You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright One day you'll walk the world and keep in mind The heart you've been given in winter time And through the bitter cold, with opened eyes You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright
Gojira's video for 'Born In Winter' from the album, L'Enfant Sauvage.
Like someone commented about this song/video, it becomes, "very soothing, then becomes something enthralling". From one extreme to another and everywhere in between. Jeff's writing has resonated with me as only few have in that, it was unexpected, alien even, then comforting and progressive beyond reason. "What you don't know can't hurt them", indeed.
One night to be confused One night to speed up truth We had a promise made Four hands and then away
Both under influence We had divine scent To know what to say Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above To lean on Wouldn't be good enough For me, no
One night of magic rush The start a simple touch One night to push and scream And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes The colors red and blue We had a promise made We were in love
To call for hands of above To lean on Wouldn't be good enough For me, no
To call for hands of above To lean on Wouldn't be good enough
And you, you knew the hands of the devil And you, kept us awake with wolf teeth Sharing different heartbeats In one night
To call for hands of above To lean on Wouldn't be good enough For me, no
To call for hands of above To lean on Wouldn't be good enough For me, no
I was searching for something I read on reddit, in some sub, (I can't seem to find now, even though I'm pretty good at re-finding stuff that moves me). but It was this poetic story about sharing only so many heartbeats w/someone, whether it's merely passing some one you don't know on the street or someone you know intimately. We only ever share so many heartbeats in a lifetime w/someone, anyone. As science has pointed to, each of us only has so many heartbears in our DNA, and how metaphorically, we only really ever share tics of time as measured by our heartbeats with the other. in this time and in this space, that we know of. I know this isn't a eulogy, as others here have said, I know there is more from Jeff Wells, to come, I'm just happy I've been touched by his hospitality here, and his creation of R.I. in cyberspace or real life I'M GLAD WE SHARED heartbeats...
