> I mentioned Merlin because I felt he wanted to go and you chose right, but it's the desire of life to hang on regardless.
**Oh, yes, I know and wasn't really responding about anything specific, just appreciated a chance to talk about him some more to someone I know understands. I was just thinking about him the other day and the whole bit about 'death with dignity' - how hard it is to see a loved one (or ourselves) suffer when hanging on is just too difficult for everyone concerned. I hope I'm allowed to make that choice if ever I need to. But you just never know - the whole bit about karma, the bardo and all, and if all that messy suffering and agony to others isn't necessary for whatever stoic reason. I sure hope not. But however it happens, it sure puts you through poweful changes like nothing else.
You're right, though. Life does have that desire to hang on. It doesn't know anything else, I imagine.
How are you doing these days since losing Rock? You said you were planning on writing a book about Pit Bulls. Still in the works?
