John Denver wrote a song that referrenced the concept of being held close by seeing the same things in the sky:
Shanghai Breezes John Denver
It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door when you're really half a world away I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for to say the things that I want to say I can't remember when I felt so close to you it's almost more than I can bear And though I seem a half a million miles from you you're in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see it's the same old sun up in the sky And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me like the breezes here in old Shanghai
DG How did you know I was thinking of that song? Have always loved this one.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
Conan O'Brien
Ok - so this brings me to a question....Do you guys have or experienced stuff like ESP?
"It never bothered me that she called me a c*nt, it bothered me that I answered to it!" Carol Channing about Ethel Merman filming an episode of "The Love Boat"
Well, NY and mom - maybe there IS something to the spirits hanging around to guide and comfort - and if there is, then I'd be very happy if John were flying high above my head like an eagle in the sun.
When I was a teenager, I used to do testing for the Edgar Cayce Foundation (a sort of 'think tank' for the paranormal) - very interesting results are achieved on a regular basis - certainly enough to give one pause for thought.
