Dear Barbara:
Okay to forward my message to the group. Again, thanks.
Let me take this opportunity to recommend to everybody The Parkinson's
Handbook by Dwight C. McGoon, M.D., published by W. W. Norton & Co., 1990.
Dr. McGoon was a surgeon at the Mayo Clinic who contacted PD.
He closed the book by setting out in its entirety A Psalm of Live by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow:
"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!--
For the soul is deal that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
"Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
"Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act that each tomorrow
Find us further than today.
"Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
"In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
"Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, -- act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
"Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
"Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait."
From time to time I read it again, and appreciate it more.
Sincerely,
Hugh
