I posed this question to a friend that was terminally ill…….”I know you are in a great deal of pain…. Yet you look radiant and at perfect peace…. How is that possible”……. her reply…

“ I have lived an abundant and fulfilling life…..this time is given to me to reflect ….teach and inspire…..not with words but example ….a small price to pay for an extraordinary time on this plane”….
alas…….. the Art of Suffering
