    It is with a heavy heart............

    that I want to bring this into the limelight.

    You may have seen this...........

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    but in case you haven't ................



    SLOW DANCE

    Have you ever watched kids


    On a merry-go-round?


    Or listened to the rain


    Slapping on the ground?


    Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

    Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?


    You better slow down.


    Don't dance so fast.


    Time is short.


    The music won't last.


    Do you run through each day


    On the fly?


    When you ask How are you?


    Do you hear the reply?


    When the day is done


    Do you lie in your bed


    With the next hundred chores


    Running through your head?


    You'd better slow down


    Don't dance so fast.


    Time is short.


    The music won't last.


    Ever told your child,


    We'll do it tomorrow?


    And in your haste,


    Not see his sorrow?


    Ever lost touch,


    Let a good friendship die


    Cause you never had time


    To call and say,"Hi"


    You'd better slow down.


    Don't dance so fast.


    Time is short.


    The music won't last.


    When you run so fast to get somewhere


    You miss half the fun of getting there.


    When you worry and hurry through your day,


    It is like an unopened gift....


    Thrown away.


    Life is not a race.


    Do take it slower


    Hear the music


    Before the song is over.

    It makes you bloody think.....

    How to Live

    Eat lots of steak and salmon and Thai curry and mu shu
    pork and fresh green beans and baked potatoes
    and fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream.
    Kick-box three days a week. Stay strong and lean.
    Go fly-fishing every chance you get, with friends

    who'll teach you secrets of the stream. Play guitar
    in a rock band. Read Dostoyevsky, Whitman, Kafka,
    Shakespeare, Twain. Collect Uncle Scrooge comics.
    See Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, and everything Monty Python made.
    Love freely. Treat ex-partners as kindly

    as you can. Wish them as well as you're able.
    Snorkel with moray eels and yellow tangs. Watch
    spinner dolphins earn their name as your panga slam-
    bams over glittering seas. Try not to lie; it sours
    the soul. But being a patsy sours it too. If you cause

    a car wreck, and aren't hurt, but someone is, apologize
    silently. Learn from your mistake. Walk gratefully
    away. Let your insurance handle it. Never drive drunk.
    Don't be a drunk, or any kind of "aholic." It's bad
    English, and bad news. Don't berate yourself. If you lose

    a game or prize you've earned, remember the winners
    history forgets. Remember them if you do win. Enjoy
    success. Have kids if you want and can afford them,
    but don't make them your reason-to-be. Spare them that
    misery. Take them to the beach. Mail order sea

    monkeys once in your life. Give someone the full-on
    ass-kicking he (or she) has earned. Keep a box turtle
    in good heath for twenty years. If you get sick, don't thrive
    on suffering. There's nothing noble about pain. Die
    if you need to, the best way you can. (You define best.)

    Go to church if it helps you. Grow tomatoes to put store-
    bought in perspective. Listen to Elvis and Bach. Unless
    you're tone deaf, own Perlman's "Meditation from Thais."
    Don't look for hidden meanings in a cardinal's song.
    Don't think TV characters talk to you; that's crazy.

    Don't be too sane. Work hard. Loaf easily. Have good
    friends, and be good to them. Be immoderate
    in moderation. Spend little time anesthetized. Dive
    the Great Barrier Reef. Don't touch the coral. Watch
    for sea snakes. Smile for the camera. Don't say "Cheese."

        Thanks for resurrecting this post. I remember being touched by it when Steve posted it, and I am touched again re-reading it.

          I didn't know Kanga but from his posts he seemed a rare, special person. My sympathies to all those who knew and loved him who are grieving now.

            I am so very, very sorry. Kanga was great and I was always uplifted when he posted.

            We will all miss him, and we all remember him.
