Tutu,
The phone number to order the film on Bonhoeffer is 1-800-645-4727. The order number is BAOG801. Cost is $24.95. (Ordering info is now also posted on my revised previous post.)
This film is morally, intellectually, and artistically compelling. It won the Best Film award at the 2000 Monte Carlo Television festival.

PRAYER OF MAIMONIDES [From Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, a Jewish philosopher and physician in Egypt, 1135-1204]. A prayer used at the graduation ceremonies of some medical schools.
``Thy eternal providence has appointed me to watch over the life and health of Thy creatures.
May the love for my art actuate me at all times; may neither avarice nor miserliness, not thirst for glory, or for a great reputation engage my mind; for the enemies of truth and philanthropy could easily deceive me and make me forgetful of my lofty aim of doing good to Thy children.
May I never see in the patient anything but a fellow creature in pain.
Grant me strength, time, opportunity always to correct what I have acquired, always to extend its domain; for knowledge is immense and the spirit of man can extend indefinitely to enrich itself daily with new requirements.
Today he can discover his errors of yesterday and tomorrow he can obtain a new light on what he thinks himself sure of today.
Oh God, Thou has appointed me to watch over the life and death of Thy creatures; here am I ready for my vocation and now I turn unto my calling.''

(First, lest anyone take this too literally, I think that the author of the epigram below believes, as I do, that it is also entirely appropriate to mourn the dead.)
"Mourn not the dead, but rather the apathetic throng- the cowed and meek who see the world's great anguish and its wrongs, and dare not speak."
With thanks to the many courageous people in the Lyme community. You inspire me.
Love, cws

"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment."

"You have written me not to give up. Perish the thought. I am, unfortunately, just so bloody exhausted. Further all the joys in my life are now forbidden-no chocolate, no wine, no sugar, no rice-this in south carolina, how could you-no potatoes, no flour-what no biscuits, no cakes, no pies and what are we supposed to eat. boring green vegetables and meat. and no wine and no chocolate.
I shall have to propose a TOFU diet. Tofu, the most boring food in the world. It would probably cause the spirochetes to commit mass hara kiri out of sheer boredome We could have tofu roast beef, tofu sugar, tofu chocolate cake and tofu lemon merangue pie. Oh joy. "

As written by Myself;
My comments as to how you would know what to do when faced with the adverse reactions of others, when to stop antibiotics or switch treatments
"....THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO HAVE A DETERMINATION EQUALLED BY NO ONE. To actually know...that you, and only you will win in the end. Even if that means throwing away everything you own and walking back into life with nothing but the things you hold dear to your heart....the least of which should be your own self preservation."

Trout & others, Saw this & have not read thru all the posts but here are mine......
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying where there seemed to be no hope at all.
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do; something to love; and something to hope for.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Mother Teresa - I know God will not give me anything that I can not handle; I just wish he didn't trust me so much!

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

"If I can stop one Heart from breaking I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one Life the Aching Or cool one Pain Or help one fainting Robin Unto his Nest again I Shall not live in Vain."
If all the world hated you and believed you wicked,while your own conscience approved you,and absolved you from guilt,you would not be without friends.

may it be a morning star/shines down upon you/may it be when darkness falls your heart will be true/you walk a lonely road/oh!how far you are from home
Believe and you will find your way/a promise lives within you now
may it be shadow's call/will fly away/may it be your journey on/to light the day/when the night is overcome/you may rise to find the sun
a promise lives within you now
