May colorful clouds and bright Sun accompany you to your destination; fresh flowers and green grass will be with you in your future years. A man does not think of his lover first and then remember him or her. He feels his spouse presence first, and then he may go on to think about their connection. To reverse this produces a kind of schizophrenia. For the brain, heart is not only a pump but a muscle, and the schizoid state consists of the attempt to control the course of love instead of yielding to it. To conceive of the heart as a muscle or a pump attributes to the brain a priority that it does not have—the realization of love, the production of the desired feeling, is linked to the control of external things, and the feeling disappears the moment control is brought into question.  #RyanPhillippe 1 of 17

Shake your hands tightly. There is something on my hands and lots of words in my heart and my secret which is hard to speak out. Most of the muscles of the body depend on a nerve connection to the brain for activation; and likewise, a pump requires some external source of power. However, while the rhythm of the heart requires stimulation, it does not rely on the brain. The wave that starts and keeps the heart beating coms from a tiny bundle of tissue in the right atrium, the sinoatrial node, the pacemaker of the heart. The heart has a mind of its own; it knows what to do without orders from above, just as someone who knows what is in his heart does not require directions concerning what to do and how to act.  #RyanPhillippe 2 of 17

The heart stimulates imagination, the creation of fantasy. Cardiac arrhythmias may not be particularly serious, but they are a sign that the heart’s rhythms are being neglected. Medical personnel, more than many other groups, have constant and sustained relationships with those who are traveling through the valley of death. Unlike most of the population, they can avoid neither the experience nor the fact. The very nature of their work puts them in physical proximity to dying and death day in and day out. Their reactions are but the reactions of the rest of us writ large. A lofty ideal is a beacon to life. With it, one’s life is no longer aimless and heart no longer empty. Let us strive towards our set goals at a firm pace. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 17

The rhythms of the heart do not belong to that physical organ in the chest, but to the rhythm of the World, even to the rhythm of the cosmic World. Dazzling and restless bodies, these celestial objects are mysterious even now as, for the most part, they stride on stage in a completely unforeseeable way at absolutely random intervals. Observing these visitors, with orbits so long that we will never see them again in our lifetime, is a great privilege which connects us to the atavistic sensations of humanity’s first astronomers. Do not forget the road you are from, these glittering the colour of sweat, these with thistles and thorns, these rugged roads with tears and pains. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 17

The road one comes from is one’s most valuable treasure. One cannot walk smoothly until he remember the road he comes from in the past years. Due to their delicate beauty and the aura of mystery that has always surrounded them, comets are definitely among the most fascinating heavenly bodies. While ancient astronomers had developed complex models to predict the appearance and alterations in the sky’s other occupants, the enigmatic nature of comets prevailed. They showed up suddenly, stayed visible from a few days to a month, moved meticulously among the constellations, then disappeared.  I will never forget you, and please remember me and come to see me often. May you be happy and smoothly in advance. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 17

Step in new life to everywhere of our country with memory and fantasy. A human being takes approximately eighteen breaths a minute, which comes to 1,080 breaths an hour, or 25,920 breaths a day. An ordinary life span is about 85 years. The number of days in 85 years is approximately 31,025. A cosmic year is 25,900 years. The cosmic year is the perfect year, as it is the number of years it will take before the Sun again rises at exactly the same moment as it does today is 25,920. These intriguing calculations point to the way in which the rhythm of the body is related to the rhythm of the cosmos. We do not recognize this correspondence because the periodicity is different.  #RyanPhillippe 6 of 17

Meeting and departure, coming back and leaving are the end of happiness in the past years and of the cosmic year. Because of the difference in periodicity we are somewhat free from the rhythms of the cosmos; in ancient times, people experienced these relationships directly for they had access to the experience of their blood and could perceive its relation to the surrounding World. The development of intellectual consciousness dimmed this experience, which is no longer directly given but must be reimagined.  #RyanPhillippe 7 of 17

Where did they come from? What were they? Where did they go when they disappeared? The advent of a Great Comet—a comet whose tail reaches exceptional dimension and whose head, or coma, shines as brightly as the brightest stars—was a powerful instigator of both curiosity and malaise, especially among the general public. In ancient times, the sudden appearance of such a monumental object had to be truly startling, rather as it is now. Even now that we know their nature, comets are still largely unpredictable objects capable of lighting up like headlights in the night and growing tails of incredible length and complexity or bursting like punctured balloons and disappointing everyone who waited for them with high hopes. This surely adds to their fascination.  #RyanPhillippe 8 of 17

A few dozen comets are discovered every year in modern times, but most can be seen only by telescope. One average (over the last three centuries for which complete and reliable statistics are available), a comet visible to the eye has appeared once every two or three years; and only once in 10 years, more or less, does one appear that can be classified as a Great Comet. It is obviously the latter that attracts the most attention from devotees and, above all, from the public at large. Unfortunately, Great Comets do not always appear on schedule convenient for ordinary people. They are frequently visible only at dawn or immediately after Sundown, and their period peak visibility is often limited to one week.  #RyanPhillippe 9 of 17

Life is a lot like a comet, it comes and goes before you know it, and most people miss their own lives because they are burden with unnecessary details and gossip. One of the most annoying things in Sacramento, California is there seem to be a lot of human drones, and they walk around and ask a lot of person questions and spend months talking about the same thing every time they see you. I got my car waxed six months another and ever since then the maintenance man keeps dancing around my car and asking me questions and it is so annoying because he is trying to tell me what kind of paint job it has and how long it will last.  #RyanPhillippe 10 of 17

Surely, one cannot be helpful to another if the other’s pain keeps one’s own nerves rubbed raw. I think it is so annoying because I feel like these people are rude, they do not even say hello, nor ask how you are doing, but want to get all in your personal life about anything they can figure out. Like if you move your TV to another room, they want to know why. If you store your toilet paper in an unexpected place, even if there is some on the roll, they tell people you do not have any. These people make a lot of assumptions and love to gossip, spread rumors, and profile people. That is a shame because life can be fleeting and you really do not know how much time you have to live. #RyanPhillippe 11 of 17

It may be difficult to avoid developing a practical callousness as a means of staying close to death and dying without feeling overwhelmed. Some kind of distance is necessary, yet we need to distinguish between an accurate empathy that finds in the other what is in truth the other’s experience and sensitive sympathy that finds in the other what is in truth one’s own experiences. While everyone’s death diminishes me, and while each one’s finitude is a reminder of my own finitude, another’s death is not my death. And to make it so is to limit my helpful response to that human pain. #RyanPhillippe 12 of 17

We seemed to be faced with the startling paradox that, as patients more and more indicate a preference for being informed of the hopelessness of their situation, physicians are becoming more and more reluctant to do to. Doctors sometimes do not let people know that their situations are hopeless and their life is almost over. It is found that only 30 percent of doctors’ information their patients that they are hopeless and near death. And in some cases, 90 percent of doctors will not tell their patients they are near dying. Many physicians favored not telling the patient of the possibility of death. At the same time and in sharp contrast, 77 to 89 percent of the patients wanted to know.  #RyanPhillippe  13 of 17

The anxious avoidance of death and dying by medical personnel only serves as an indicator of the reaction of most of us. When we try to avoid the uncomfortableness, we still tend to be overwhelmed by the uncertainty. What can we say? How can we react? We find ourselves surrounding the dying person with a curtain of silence. Over 100 million Americans have some degree of coronary artery disease, which is described as a symptomless disorder characterized by the thickening and deteriorating of the blood supply conduits to the heart. Cholesterol in the body is primarily responsible for insulating the electrical activities of the brain, one from the other, so that we do not short-circuit ourselves.  #RyanPhillippe 14 of 17

Cholesterol is also a necessary component for the rigidity of cell walls. That cholesterol should be a factor in heart attack tells us something about the present World—a World that is excessively isolating and rigid, a World in which the processes of the brain have entered into the whole body, requiring additional insulation there. Arterial blockage, over time, makes the heart beat not only harder but louder. The heart continually makes a sonic image; the heart is the only organ that can be continually heard. For three years we have shared the Sunshine; for thousands of days, we have enjoyed friendship. May the past years be beautiful memories in our hearts forever.  #RyanPhillippe 15 of 17

A fifty-one-year-old man suffering from severe coronary thrombosis had the following dream. In it he saw people gathered around a big hole in the middle of a green meadow. Everyone stood silently. The dreamer found the silence oppressive. He wondered why no one was talking. He was bothered by the fact that people were not shaking hands nor interacting. Finally, he left in anger, determined never to see them nor that place again. A forty-seven-year-old woman made that point more explicitly three weeks before she died of breast cancer. Everyone, she exclaimed, has “given me up. They have divorced themselves from me. They are even afraid to talk to me. If at least I could say goodbye to them.”  #RyanPhillippe 16 of 17

Each of these incidents is representative of our awkwardness in the presence of human death. Part of what presses us to shut out the other person’s experience arises from our own guilt. We are relatively healthy and alive while the other is sick and dying. The contrast hurts everyone! The silences that accompany anxiousness and uncertainty serve to isolate and alienate the living from the dying and the dying from the living. A touching response is destroyed. A distant (inhuman?) response metastasizes. You have gone. At the long time, my heart is like a tree in autumn. Leaves fall down to the ground except the head of the branch. Meeting again is not a beginning and departure is not an end, the good memory of so many years will be kept in my heart forever….I love you for all of eternity.  #RyanPhillippe 17 of 17
