Chuck, this post reverberated, so I turned to Shamsuddin Muhammad-i-Hafiz-i-Shariz, a great poet and, who some say, was Sufi. You will know of him I'm certain. But...permit me to post these few lines from one of his many works. It is a narrative poem titled: NO GUARANTEES and it works at several levels of meaning, this is just a sample. Joab
Wherever you are going, go alone; for the road
to enlightenment is very narrow and full of curves.
And take your wineglass with you, for there are
no guarantees. Hafiz

I'll be running with you, Chuck! The second for very reflective for me as I thought about the tragedy at Ft. Hood! I hope you have a wonderful day, Chuck! Shelly
