I just got a letter and in it he responds to all your well wishes for him!
I’m going to try to copy it and post it here when I am at work tomorrow. If I can’t I’ll retype it out. It truly made his day, he said he was smiling from them all day!

Awe, this brought tears to my eyes. It’s comforting to know he’s doing well under the circumstances. I can’t wait til he’s back here posting again.
Thank you for doing this Donna. I appreciate this more than you know.

It’s always fantastic to read hand-written notes, journals and letters, which Mr. Cade’s responses seem to be!
He makes a point in his response to the wonderful Holly (@MoCatt). “Anything you might have gotten from me didn’t come from me, it came through me.” I had a little experience the other day that relates to this phenomenon. I was doing a guided meditation on compassion. And the guide took the lesson through feeling compassion for myself, and then for someone close to me, then for someone neutral to me. Then the hammer dropped - feeling compassion for someone or an institution I dislike. There is a certain national political figure for whom I have no personal respect and whose actions and attitudes I despise. And yet, I felt the energy of the higher power, of the universe, that energy that cannot be destroyed or created, flowing from the universe through me and into them. I still didn’t like them, but for a moment I could appreciate that (unacknowledged) fear was driving them, just like fear used to rule my life.
And I thought if an old carcass of a washed up drunk like me can get sober and be happy, maybe they can change too. Maybe.
I felt for a moment that I had become the channel that St. Francis of Assisi prayed to become. A channel of the universal and divine peace, just a shell to hold the peace as it poured over me and through me and out of me. Just for a moment, no longer. But that moment will now make me a different person, for a little while or perhaps longer.
Thanks for letting me share.
