Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Can A Teardrop Tree Mend a Broken Heart?

By Saleem Rana


A Teardrop Tree is a gift for a person who is mourning. It comes with a story about the tree as well as a brooch. It is a symbolic means of expressing condolences and also an imaginative way of recovering from a private tragedy.

Description of a Teardrop Tree

A Teardrop Tree integrates the qualities of a weeping willow with a banyan tree. A willow has leaves that droop and that are fashioned like teardrops. A banyan tree is old, and has a thick trunk and gigantic roots. The Teardrop Tree is a sentient tree that carries the sadness of those that see it. By holding the weight of individual remorse, it heals those that mourn, helping them in their recovery.

There is a story behind the tree, and it is told in an illustrated novel: "Tearabar and the Legend of the Teardrop Tree." The book, a fable about individuals on a healing quest, has actually been wonderfully illustrated by Roger Vizard, a Hollywood animation artist. Moreover, the original story by author Logan Clarke has now been expanded into a novel in cooperation with Larry Whittaker.

The Teardrop Project

Allen Cardoza and Logan Clarke wish to make the novel as well as a miniature model of the tree and a teardrop brooch part of American society. They believe that it will help those recovering from grief after a great hardship.

The tree, brooch, as well as the book can easily be given as a gift. They are an alternative to buying lots of flowers for somebody in grief. This present leads people on an enchanting journey to bounce back from their heartbreaking loss.

The two men have a dream: to create a purposeful symbol and initiate a creative journey to guide inner healing. Consequently, they have actually made a campaign to raise money for their project.

How it all Started

Allen Cardoza and Logan Clarke are both seasoned private detectives who are dedicated to ending the tragedy of human slavery on this planet, a little known but widely pervasive crime where children who run away from home are forced to work for crime rings as thieves and sex slaves. This work has exposed them to the grief of parents who have experienced either the kidnapping or murder of a child, as well as the grief of the rest of the family. As a result, the detectives came to realize how important it was to heal grief because most people tend to bottle up the pain, perpetuate the suffering and slowly let their lives fall apart. Consequently, they decided to create a way to help people begin the grieving process. The result is the Teardrop Tree project.
