Bill T.! Would love to be there in person to squeeze you with some Bill love, but I'm busy rehearsing with all members of London Hostel '82 for our new musical 'The Walter Hostel Blues.' We have a tour stop planned in Whipple, don't worry.

EXHORTATION OF THE DAWN by Kalidasa
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Thank you for sharing. I am nothing of a wordsmith, but I certainly enjoy those who are. You are in our prayers daily. Best wishes for continued healing, for you and your family.

So I have to ask: what do the mealworms taste like? Much love to you and your family.

Daily strength and courage to you BT3, you have huge network of folk right behind you - loving your honesty, your humour and your will to fight and beat this - whichever way it goes. Sending along good thoughts always from Nelspruit, ZA with warm hugs for you and JZ from me and Peter Lawson.

Bill, I have never met you, I wish to send greetings of gratitude and hope to you. Reading your update reminded me of our wonderful gift of connections, the power of love. Your friend, Barb Bayliff

Hey, darling,

Me in Athens thinking of you with much love. My BWD love began when you were away at college--isn't that something?--but I stay faithful, and am glad to get a good report on the magazine. And most of all, an "I can make it through this day" report from you. Oh, let's keep hope alive. I'm so grateful that Julie is able to take care of you while Wendy is away, and that the kids are the good, strong, wonderful people you and JZ raised.
How sweet to hear your own voice. I love you, and will lift my voice for you.XXOOMimi

Hi Bill, So very sorry to hear about this terrible illness. I am thinking about you and praying each day. Although we don't know each other all that well, I consider you a friend and esteemed colleague, with great memories from our travels. You are an inspiration to many in the birding world and beyond. Keep fighting!
