Be delighted to participate. Enjoyed your poem. -----Original Message----- From: Tebay, Wendy M <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tuesday, July 14, 1998 10:14 PM Subject: Re: How's this idea? - Critical mass needed for experiment > >Well, I did ask for comments recently on my idea regarding a mass >medtation/prayer for pd, so I expected both positive and negative, but >honestly, I did not expect the overall pessimism in one particular response. >I don't mean just the fact that someone disagreed with me, I have no problem >with that (alot of that which I post here is purposefully controversial and >I expect a variety of comments. I don't always agree 100% with the ideas I >throw out either.). I must respond, however, to the statement regarding >false hope. Perhaps this poem will suffice - I probably posted it here a >couple years ago - but here it is again.. (Oh, just fyi, I also am a >physicist with a graduate degree, and understand quantum mechanics and >celestial mechanics quite well - in fact, my job involves determining orbit >profiles for a satellite currently in orbit around Mars - yet I still have >unshakeable faith, that pd nor any human will ever destroy, and I resent >those who destroy others hopes for the future by dismissing them as "false". >It has been said that one's faith only needs to be the size of a mustard >seed to move mountains - Or maybe to do some quantum tunneling thru to the >other side?). Anyway, here's the poem: > >NO FEAR > >I will not fear >That which lies ahead >I cannot, I will not >Be abandoned for dead >As long as I live >And as long as I die >I will prevail >Altho' all may doubt, but I >I will follow >My life's chosen path >And not be distracted >By gloom and doom >And bull such as that >For those who would choose for me >The course of my life >All I can say is "#@$%!" that >And pass them the knife >You may chose to end your life >But you shan't end mine >It's between God and I >To determine the time >I am the wolf >And I'll howl from my soul >Sending chills down the spines >Of those listening below >I am fierce, I am brave >When cornered, I'll not flee >I'll hold my ground >'Til I've defeated PD! > > >'Nuff said. I don't want to ignite a flame war. > >Wendy Tebay >
