Happy birthday Mark!!! To add to the numerological significance of this auspicious week, Thursday was the 5th anniversary of my bone marrow transplant and my re-birthday. So glad we\'re here together (though 3000 miles apart) to rejoice in these things. I\'m so sorry I missed you in Santa Cruz. Hopefully I\'l see you next time. I love your posts. Keep them up for many more years, okay?
Much love.

Beautifully written, congrats and power on my fellow Libra. These over 1/2 century bodies take a bit of care; however our minds exceed anything we ever thought in our youth. Life is good.

Mark!! I hope you have a wonderful birthday and truly blessed year! For really relaxing and \"under the speed limit\" exercise, I loved Omar\'s yoga classes at Results. Tell him I said hi.
Cheers to DC, to your great work at USDA, and mostly to your long life and health. =)

Great post! Here\'s to \"sweet and steady.\" I\'ve never had cruise control either, until recently. But I\'ve lived without is for so long I forget to even use it. I firmly believe in self regulation -- you\'ll be a stronger warrior for maintaining the art.

You write beautifully Mark, I\'m going to miss these messages if as you imply, this is the last one. Is it time to start a blog for friends and family? Will I see you at ecofarm this year?
Have a fabulous birthday, I\'m starting my day off with a massage then a group cooking party with friends. The theme is fifty five and flaming, we\'ll make food that\'s grilled, seared, flambed, bruleed, and just firey hot. Anything not fire roasted will sport a candle.
So what\'s your plan for the day?

Good morning Mark!
what a great update - so glad you got to get home for a while - that ocean soothes the soul, and I\'m sure it\'s quite a recharge zone for you. Thanks for all the hard work you are doing amongst the many challenges - it\'s not for everyone, nor the faint of heart, but you are pulling it off like the true champion that you are. Just got back from Atlanta PMA and am very happy to be home in the mountains. Lots of love to you, Bonnie Lou

I loved reading this and getting your perspective on the world, in context with recovery. I love how you noticed the shift while on the train. I love the part about His Holiness. I watched it as possible live from here. The practice of being present where you are is the strongest pull for me, and at the same time feeling that perhaps it has been enough time away from my community in California. I also notice with a deeper understanding how much this is a transformational experience and that you are integrating and furthering so many ways of being that bring you to your presence. I honor your path and am grateful to be witnessing and learning from a small part of it. with love, LL.

Increased horsepower, yahoo! And I agree, whoever took the smell out of the rose missed a critical dimension of aliveness. Keep smelling! I\'m enjoying the jasmine and citrus blossoms, hawaiian ginger flowers, the angel\'s trumpet and all the subtle whiffs I get on my walks. Sending you Central Coast smells and the beautiful juju from all of those who love you.
Love,
Gwendolyn

so great to hear from you, and to be with you on this journey, Slippy. I\'ve been finding a lot of heart shaped rocks on the shores of the San Juan Islands and thinking of you. There must be something about the cleavage lines of the rocks around here - nearly all that I find are a bit lopsided with one side much bigger than the other. Fitting and perfect.
with love and a full heart,
Laura Leigh

Mark, thanks for updating us. Been thinkin of you a lot, what with the summer solstice upon us. May you keep on the path of healing the heart and respecting and finding joy in the rehab process. Love you lots...and there sure are a few too many varieties of roses that don\'t smell....i have found a few of them lately and been sorely disappointed, only to remind myself that the things in life that don\'t always smell good may be some of my greatest teachers.

Hey Mark! Great to hear from you. Glad the jalopy is back in gear. You are amazing! I hope you know that by now. I am also a rose sniffer and will think of you when I do so. I just got back from a week near Yosemite. The waterfalls are insane this year! I am sending you Santa Cruz vibes as you continue your recovery. Lots of love,
