Thread Name: Some accordion with your Pad Thai?
Subject: RE: Some accordion with your Pad Thai?
how good it would be to see and hear ram dass. I am currently reading his book-Still Here. The one he wrote 30 years ago Be Here Now is a classic into to eastern philosophy. I read some of Still Here at my mother's bed side as she lay dying..it is a very insightful book on death and dying. He said he didn't know how to finish the book until he had his stroke and then he knew what the last chapter would have to be about! He has collaborated with Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and others to understand and help with the last days of life. His book was very help ful thru this period at the end of my mom's life.. sorry-not about key boards, squeeze boxes, or thai food, but the best part of that book was about how not to fear death, because getting out of one's body is a relief not unlike removing a tight shoe. That concept was so comforting and such an eye-opener for me.
