Editor, Former Nurse

His character and strength, his ability to forgive. His humility and appreciation of his own special gifts, and of all God's children and creation. His beautiful Poetry. His gift of The Dance. His gift of Song. His uncanny performing ability. His huge capacity to love. His ability to be the person God created him to be despite the world's cruelty and erroneous judgments.

Speechless, Heal The World, Billie Jean

"Concern for the child ... is the primary and fundamental test of the relationship of one human being to another."... Pope John Paul II
Michael understood this and passed this "test" with flying colors! People with evil minds just don't get it.
"Saints are fellow human beings, at once tempted and tried, hugely given over to spiritual passions, insistantly intent on realizing them in word, in deed, NO MATTER WHAT THE PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES." ... Robert Coles
In my humble opinion, by THIS definition, Michael Jackson qualifies as a genuine saint. Thank you, Michael, for your good example. May we all be as loving and strong.
"The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. But to talk of light is not necessarily to talk of joy. One may suffer in light; its excess burns. TO BURN WITHOUT CEASING TO FLY; THAT IS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF GENIUS. When you have reached the stage of knowing and loving you will still suffer. The enlightened weep, if only for those still in darkness." ... Victor Hugo
Thank you, Michael, for flying through the suffering and continuing to love and to live in the light.




A white man once said,''Colored people are not allowed here.''
The black man turned around and stood up.
He then said:
''Listen sir... when I was born I was BLACK.
When I grew up I was BLACK.
When I'm sick I'm BLACK.
When I go out into the sun I'm BLACK.
When I'm cold I'm BLACK.
When I die I'll be BLACK.
But you sir,
When you're born you're PINK.
When you grow up you're WHITE.
When you're sick you're GREEN.
When you go out into the sun you turn RED.
When you're cold you turn BLUE.
And when you die you turn PURPLE.
And you have the nerve to call me colored?"
The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away.
