Dante's Inferno: September 2006 Archives

i was given an opportunity this evening to name an actual star in the sky and have it be recorded in perpetuity - and I did....of course named it "Dante" I actually have the coordinates and probably around christmas i will give him the certificate issued with the name, and coordinates of the star (which is in the Leo constellation) and it has the following inscription(i can do this because he doesn't read my blog)

If all the world shone bright as you -
we would live in eternal day -
and the world would be covered in rainbows...

Oh for those of you that don't know he is a Leo ...

this other song has stayed with me as well....those of you who have been reading will understand as it strikes so close to home....its actually sung from the perspective of HIV patients....but with dante's situation...it fits....we were watching tv the other night and it came on and we both looked at each other...and if it had been anyone else other than dante they would have been in tears....as it was he gave me this look and for a split second i could see the pain...and i teared up and gave him a look that "willed" him out of that moment of "emotion" People just dont understand having to contemplate or deal with cancer....this sums some of it up though...

Will I lose my dignity,
Will someone care,
Will i wake tomorrow
From this nightmare...

And later on into today i thought this could also apply to my life and being alone...
