Big post update, with big news.
I added an update to the Dr. Zelenko memorial post - it now has a lengthy section on nutrient and genetic risk factors for schizophrenia - which people with more severe AIDS/VAIDS may develop.
Marathon post, it covers a lot of territory within the body and across history - Rest in Peace Dr. Zelenko, the update is also in a document.
Ireniki Prayer:
“O’ friends, let us take time to think about life and be unafraid, that we may see life with simplicity and clarity, without confusion and artifices of the mind, neither looking backward, nor straining after the unattainable Beyond. Let us try to believe that life is good, and that without further waiting, the opportunity to live the good life is here, if we will it should be so. The earth is ours as we make it, society is ours as we create and improve it. Let us strive to live with our fellow men in peace and civility, that we may work fruitfully, endure nobly and live happily. Let us further take time, when our hands are freed from the toil of labor, to admire and wonder, in reverence and humility, and enjoy in beauty and in wisdom, this great spiritual universe, of which we are a part, partaking of its harmony. And when it is time for us to depart, let us leave content and grateful for having enjoyed this short, but precious gift of life.”
“Amen”
I cannot find a source for this, or even the name Ireniki. My mother had it copied in a journal. It may be indigenous American as my parents liked indigenous art and poetry. Abenaki and other indigenous people’s prayers for giving thanks: (manyhoops.com)
The post update got so long I made some NFTs to have a little fun and to use as occasional breadcrumbs along the way. Rest in Peace Dr. Zelenko, the post update is also in a tabbed Word document. Health is in part, a choice. Dying is a given, how are you living?
