Noddy is strong, and even if she leaves us, it won't be because she is weak. It's strange, but I was looking through some of my poetry books the other day and I found this poem by Charles Bukowski (my favorite) and it occurs to me now that it may hold some relevance.
Quote:
"a song with no end"
by Charles Bukowski
when Whitman wrote, "I sing the body electric"
I know what he
meant
I know what he
wanted:
to be completely alive every moment
in spite of the inevitable.
we can't cheat death but we can make it
work so hard
that when it does take
us
it will have known a victory as
perfect as
ours.
Noddy, continues to fight while we find our own hearts struggling to make the next beat. This is the stage of life.
You can't beat nature Noddy, but you can fight like hell. Maybe, just maybe, now isn't your time. Give em hell, the stage is yours, and we're all rooting for you! I won't say goodbye until you do.
The body electric.
