    It's taken me about 5 years, but I'm at peace with the idea that everything dies now.

    Impermanence is a key concept in Buddhism. I'm not Buddhist, nor do I care to be, but there's a lot I like in the Buddhist worldview.

    If you can get past the cheesiness of when it was made, request the COSMOS DVDs from your library. Carl Sagan makes a great case for embracing the life we have and learning all we can.

    Take care,

    Wishes don't change reality, Paul.

    If they did, you'd still be outnumbered my Muslim wishers.

    I don't have anything deep and meaningful to tell you. So hang with a PYT, drink a beer, give the WT the middle finger. Get to feeling good. A beer and a BJ should get you out of your funk right quick.
