No Name

I was riding deep in the desert this morning looking for anything Nic and his guys might be cooking up for the travelers.

I saw someone riding in the distance and decided to ride that way.

When I got closer, I saw the guy was riding a horse at top speed.

My camel easily caught up and I got him to stop.

He said that he was trying to escape from Nic.

He couldn’t tell me where Nic was at though.

He couldn’t remember his name either.

He told me his horse had no name.

I really think that he was just so scared that his memory was failing him.

I directed him to the nearest oasis and advised that he rest himself and his horse.

He agreed to do so and I continued on my search.

As I told him, there is no hurry to cross the desert of NML.

You just need to get to the other side safely.

If you rush your journey, you may run into problems.

The desert is very unforgiving.

Take the journey one day at a time and rest often if you need to.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
