Down Time

I am always amazed at the strength of people when tragedy calls. Is it the flow of adrenaline, the necessity of the moment, something that is inside of us that shines through? People are always saying to me that they could never handle what we are going through, that they are not that strong of a person. I tell them that they would not believe what they can handle when it involves the ones that they love, a strength that comes from depths of your soul. You don't have to get this strength, it is always there, just waiting for the times that you need it, it comes from God. It happens during earthquakes, it happens during fires, it happens during bombings of the trade center, it happens in the Intensive Care Units at hospitals. A strength that comes out in a person that no one knows is there, until it is needed. You do what you have to do, no questions, no hesitations, you just do it. If you would of asked Myles if he could of endured the all of this pain he has been through, he would of said no. I myself, if asked, if I could of handled all of this, I would of said "NO Way". But we have and are. I haven't posted in a while. My body is catching up to all of the last eight months. When you are in the "immediate response" of it all, you don't physically feel, you mentally do. Your body takes to the sidelines while your mind deals with what is being played out. BUT in the long run, your body will have to step in and tell you what you have been through, physical exertion, mental stress, insanity. It will demand that you physically feel what you have mentally gone through. Body, mind, and spirit, as it should be.
