the human spirit...

I witnessed something amazing the other day,
I saw the beauty and strength of the human spirit.
This man who has seen 80 years of life zoom by,
who has loved, laughed and cried through those years,
who is now terminally ill and nearing the end of his journey...
Still refuses to fold his hand,
still willing to take a bite out of life and savor every moment of it.
Barely able to walk he wanted to dance, and dance he did....
dominating the dance floor for what seemed a joyful eternity for the wide eyed cheering crowd.


He may have Greek and Armenian blood running through his veins..
But it was the human spirit that is still alive and well deep in his soul that captured my heart....
I am inspired....as we all should be!
LOVE...PEACE...JOY...

  1. Just stopping in to say hello - my last comment was on April 24th (sounds a bit like a confessional, doesn't it?? Sorry). I think it's great he's dancing - music, and at least the will to dance, is one thing that never fades.
