In reply to Richard,

This is two weeks too late of course.

Unread gave me the clue, at least it got rid of the numbers problem.

This all will take me some time

Thank you,

I actually put the date of origination as June.

I had to take time and think about this Flower.

It is deeeeep.

We still have a Chinese New Year.

But damn.

We forget sometimes how we got here.

And I, for one, am so glad you are here.

There are many ways to look at the calendar and yet there are other calendars.

Well done Flower.

thank you

I kept attempting to find a song and this is all that pulls my strings.

That is really all we can do.

That is really all we can do. Watch the sun come up and appreciate what the day will bring.

I'm rather happy about it too

I'm rather happy about it too, momoe.

It gave me a lot to think about, too, and in the two years it's taken me to heal I have pondered some big, big questions. No real answers; no real insights. I just appreciate the days a little more and love my family a little harder.

I am so glad you are still

You know, Mr. Day, when I saw the title of this I thought 'YAY!! Ducks!'. Finally a subject I know a little something about because we have raised ducks for the last few years and have some running around the yard as I write. I have argued with them upon occasion when they wander up onto the deck, quack very loud, and scare the bejesus out of me when I'm in the kitchen trying to make lunch. Then I have to go outside and yell at them and gently sweep their cute, waddle-y butts off the porch with a broom. So, I thought I would be able to add some valuable insight to your post.

And then I saw that it was about the interview with Si and my bubble burst. You know, those guys give rednecks a bad name.

Also let it be known throughout the land: I do not sign my calendars. Ever.

But, I can add to the calendar discussion. My calendar, the Indian one, has thirteen months and it goes like this:

April               Sugar moon
May               Sucker moon
June                 Blossom moon
July                 Berry moon
August            Rice moon
September     Changing leaves moon
October          Falling leaves moon
November      Freezing moon
December      Little spirit moon
January          Spirit moon
February        Bear moon
March             Snow crust moon
March/April     Broken snowshoe moon

I will spare you the native language version because I wouldn't want anyone to sprain their tongue.

A curious coincidence; if you count the months/moons from March/April, which is actually the first month of the year for us, the seventh month is September. So, yes, the concept of calendars has passed through many hands, possibly even pagan hands.

As for Si's declaration that "in life-and-death situations, atheism ceases to exist", well, that just shows how much he knows. A little over two years ago, actually in the exact same timeframe as the Boston marathon bombing and pursuit of the bombers, I was in a life-and-death situation. I was in St. Mary's Hospital in Saginaw, MI drugged out of my mind because of septicemia. It was a bad infection and a bad situation. The doctors told my family I had between a 30 and 40 percent chance of survival.

Of course, I didn't know any of this because like I said, I was drugged out of my mind. But, I do remember thinking I might be dead. I mean, it sorta felt like how I figured dead would feel. Like nothing. And contrary to what Si might say, I did not "look around and say, ‘Oh (God) please help me.'"

What did run through my mind was, "Oh boy, I hope all the doctors and nurses got an A on their final exam."

For reals. That is exactly what went through my mind.

Ok. That is enough out of me.

Stilli, if there is any
