I think deep down, many people do want to live out their dreams to the full. But life often gets in the way. Your friend certainly was a good example of someone who lives his life on his terms. .-= Termites´s last blog ..Termite pictures – Odontotermes longignathus =-.

Thanks Jean and yes, you are right. He lived more of a life than most of can ever hope to and God blessed him beyond belief for that on Earth and I’m sure in heaven as well.

Wow Mike, what a story! I would have loved to have met your friend, what a great guy he was for sure! Man… that is such a sad ending to the story though but perhaps…. it is god that wanted his giving ways in heaven.

Till then,

Jean

Hey Mike.

I have been giving all I have at multiple times lately, and it is something that is an instant victory. It is worth doing, and all kinds of hesitation or doubt is crushed along the way. I recommend it like you do here.

This story of your friend sure is poignant. I can relate to him in a few ways, but he sure went above and beyond, with that kind of wholeheartedness he took through Africa, and it is no good about that accident that occurred. He certainly knew what the right priorities were beforehand, though.

It is very good to be that person with a simple car and house, who is more in tune with others than they might even be with themselves.

Giving sure is the way.

Thank you so much for this post, for sharing this story! And thank you also for linking to Jonathan’s post on giving … Both these posts have really spoken into where I am in my contemplations about true connection with Self and those dear to me as well as all I encounter … Thank you for sharing material which is prompting me to stretch some more and so to discover more
Have a wonderful Christmas filled with love and joy!

Great story Mike. It certainly epitomizes the kind of giving that has real meaning and value. Isn’t it interesting how we can appreciate this kind of giving from the heart, and still fall into the commercialized version prescribed by our culture. As you brought out, “this is especially true in a complex and distracting environment.” and yes, the solution really does require “a far deeper understanding of oneself and one’s awareness in the present moment in order to keep our interactions simple.” Thanks for the link and the insight my friend
