    Hi from Chris in Nova Scotia Canada. So it’s Wednesday evening May 8 here just after 830 pm and I’m home alone folding laundry in the living room and I have CZcams up on my large tv. Delighted to see your upload so I put it on and continue folding. A few minutes in and I’ve stopped folding laundry and have sat down on the couch fully absorbed watching your video. Absolutely enjoyed this one. I’m soon 54 and have had lots of negative to dwell on but I feel embarrassed to be so down when I know I still enjoy tremendous advantages and opportunities I’m not executing on. I know you don’t know me but I wish we knew each other. Toward the end of your video I return to folding laundry my eyes swelled with tears. Thank you.

    Paul I am really happy to see you back again. I am missing you SO VERY MUCH. I totally enjoyed your letter and photo's of your sharing of Irian Jaya. (Did I get that right?) Thank you for sharing this amazing part of your life Paul. Even though I am subscribed, I am afraid I missed an update. So YOU CAN IMAGINE my delight at seeing you today, it was really great. I love how you tell your stories. I loved listening to you. I felt like I was there too. I know, it is insane, how we can think we are invincible at that age. What an awesome story and I loved the photo's. I Love you Paul and I miss you, so very much. My love to Caroline too. Love Deb ❤

BELIEVE! And I will see you in Heaven. Don’t do assistance in death; go naturally. You’re my new spiritual brother. Please go talk to a priest; you will then have a beautiful death with much hope. We will meet someday. Love, Maria

    Paul, your death defying feat brought a full smile to my face. Surely, it would have given your mother apoplexy if she had seen you in literal action. Such a fun memory for you. Even the photo likely gave her a gasp! 😵 The pics of the children and adults were heartwarming. As a retired educator, even knowing the children must now be around 35 yrs old, I had to give each of them a virtual hug. I found your explanation of how you charted fault lines fascinating. Keeping it simple was just my speed. 😉 ( Recently, 6 people, seperately, have shared with me that they are "Flat Earthers." Odd. Kinda blows my mind. Even college grads.) Heavenly scenery. It amazed me how, pardon my phrasing, as recently as 1995, primitive societies seemed. I am now curious what 2024 is like. Extremely sad people who were employed by the same company as you had terrifying deaths. Quitting was a wise move on your part. Your adventures were not in Sarawak. However, I was reminded of a book my first cousin, once removed, sent to my mother many years ago. The cousin, Daphne Brooke of Toronto, Canada, worked for the U. N. She sent it to share genealogy, as well as, a warning. The book title is, The White Rajah's of Sarawak. Evidently, to this day, my name should be on the down low as those relatives continue to be on the Sh t List. Rightfully so. I call the book, The White Witches. My first name was my mother's middle name and my grandmother's last name. Both of them, like Daphne, were born in Toronto. As for me, I have always lived in Michigan. You are often in my thoughts. I imagine your scans, tests, oncologist appointment and your question which are all coming up lay heavy on your heart and mind. I know when I go anxiety reigns. Prayers and a hug, Brooke

    Great to see you mate , I’m using the Wife’s iPad again , so this is Russ,😊you reminiscing is great to hear and is I believe good for your mental health and your nerves and will obviously keep you thinking of positive things. If I was in your shoes I think and of course I really have no idea how you feel , but I think I would want to create content as much as possible , stamping my experience of life on the World stage so I would know it was all out there to be viewed and enjoyed by others for years , also so people would know what made me tick and what my loves were etc: You have done this to some extent and that can only ever be a possitive thing : More Paul and Ricky and Carol talks too would be great: Paul you really could have a lot longer then what you have been told , Many times I’ve heard people told 6 months and they live 7 years and more : You are a very top fella and yes do what is ultimately best for you but I reckon you’ve got years yet mate ❤️👍All the very best to you , Russ from UK oh and Wendy the wife too 🤣👍

    Hey Paul, I stumbled upon your videos and just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey through life. Watching some of your videos has made me reflect on my own life and on death and what it means to be truly happy no matter what I am going through. I thank you so much and even though I am not even 40 yet I sometimes find myself reflecting and thinking about where I was 20 years ago and where I will be when I'm around your age. The passing of time seems surreal to me. One day my grandparents were here and the next they are gone only to visit me in dreams and distant memories. One day turns into two which turns into a year which turns into a decade in the blink of an eye.
    You are very strong and are not only a warrior now but were a warrior back then as shown by your photos of you hanging off the side of a helicopter and not being afraid to be around tribal men holding machetes while traveling in helicopters in remote locations. The fact you are happy when sharing your videos and are prepared for what we all will go through at some point is inspiring to me that happiness without boundaries is possible.
    Thank you for sharing your content and I love you for being the loving caring and straightforward warrior that you are and I wish you the best and thank you for inspiring me to become a better person and to take my happiness more seriously. You are an inspiration to all of us and while most of the world is intoxicated with wealth, social status, trying to one up each other, and follow the latest sports stars, to me you are a star as its warriors like you that make me reflect and face the hard questions and thoughts that most push away and act as though will never occur.

    Paul, what a wonderful video! I just loved hearing you read aloud the letter you wrote to your parents in 1995. It must seem so surreal to read what your younger self wrote all those years ago. We all have a "magic" year (or two) from our lives that we remember fondly. Whenever I'm feeling down, I let myself mentally revisit those good times, and it always makes me smile and long for those sweet days. I'd love to hear and see more from your early years. It helps us to know you better and gives us more of the story of your interesting life. I always learn something from you in every video you post (about after an earthquake, the lava that flows up turns to igneous rock and becomes magnetized). See, we do pay attention.
    I hope your upcoming medical tests go well and that the results are not disappointing. Will anxiously await your next video. Please say hello to Caroline. Until then...❤

    The magical meaning of ammonite;
    It also offers stability and anchoring since the spiral design represents a link to the earth's energy. It has profound connotations and may be a potent instrument for spiritual development and self-discovery. Overall, ammonite meaning has been associated with protection, stability, grounding, and creativity.

    You’re such a lovely soul! As I know you know the colonizers did the same thing to my people (Native Americans) when they invaded our land committed genocide and of course stole our land! The goal of every colonizer is to (as you know) strip away the identities of the Indigenous/Native population and force us/them to assimilate to THEIR way of life culture customs language beliefs etc. because OF COURSE they their ways their EVERYTHING is better and of course “civilized” unlike the “savages” they see/saw us as!! It’s such a cruel thing to do to another human! I’m sure the locals you took time to learn about and speak to loved you! You may have been one of very few people who treated them with kindness & acceptance & who was sincerely curious about their history & their lives ! You have a ❤ of GOLD and it’s so appreciated! Thank you SO much for sharing your story & thus THEIR story/plot in life!! Sad knowing the cruel things humans have done and continue to do to other humans! You’re a true💎 Sending you hugs & a big thank you!! 🤗

      Hi Lynette, you are truly insightful. You have identified the reason that I broke down crying in the middle of that video. I was told by the guy that replaced me that in the months after I left, the Indonesian military took lethal actions to supress the Irianese in a nearby village (not Sugapa). I didn't have the heart to explain my tears in the video, but that is why.
      Humans are the cruellest of creatures.
      Paul.

    • @LynetteA68

      @@PaulinPerth Hi Paul, thank you so much. The reason for your tears was easy to recognize. I cried with you! I’m so happy you were able to experience life with the indigenous people of that land happy you appreciated it & even happier you weren’t there to witness the cruelty that was inflicted on the people you loved shortly after you left! If only we could all appreciate each others cultures customs languages beliefs etc the world would be a much better place void of the cruelty we are currently witnessing take place all over the world even as I write you!! I watch all your videos and I laugh and cry with you! You’ve touched my heart in a profound way as I know you have MANY MANY other people throughout your lifetime! My heart breaks knowing you’re struggling and dealing with this cruel disease! I always find myself asking WHY? Why does this always seem to happen to THE VERY BEST people?? You Paul ARE one of those VERY BEST people & I’m SO happy that I’ve had the honor of knowing you even if only through CZcams!! As always thank you for sharing your life with us….the good bad and the ugly….you’re REAL and that’s a breath of fresh air!! Sending you positive thoughts & vibes as always!❤️

    Hi Paul, Great letter. That was soooo interesting, to learn more about your work there, and the photos were great. And if I'm not mistaken I think that Jason was with you in the Solomons? If he was, then I still have a lovely photo of you both on Uepi. After Irian Jaya, staying at a resort in the Solomon Islands must have been a nice change before going on to PNG. I don't know whether at Uepi it was the same Bell helicopter that was used, but I remember holding my breath when it took off from our tiny supply jetty for the last time, as it was really heavy with equipment. All the best with your upcoming appointments, Paul. xx
    P.S. Having lived in the Solomons, Balikpapan in Indonesian Borneo, and the Northern Islands of Fiji (as well as visited many other islands in the South Pacific) I totally relate to your experiences with the friendly people and especially the happy children. I loved it!

    • @PaulinPerth

    Thank you, Paul, for this wonderful share, it’s lovely to see you back, and equally wonderful to get some insight from you, into your valued and precious life experiences. It doesn’t surprise me that you are such an engaging person, a man who makes us want to hear all you have to say and share with us, and then, reflect on it while we wait for your next update. I wish you all the very best for your upcoming appointments, I imagine you must be very apprehensive about them and what they may reveal in relation to your illness, especially knowing that there’s a strong chance what you hear will be so very challenging, but even if it’s not the very best you could wish for, I sincerely hope it’s the very best, possible, for you. Care, always, to you, 🥰

He and 5 others traversed north coast to south coast over 6 weeks, meeting many tribes on the way. I've been interested in it ever since. Loved your memories of it! Thank you for sharing this 😊

    Great story today Paul! I’d like to know the silliest/ most frustrating mechanical story you’ve got. I had to redo valve cover gaskets on a real pain in the azz job for myself two years ago and that was frustrating but hilarious because it’s the story of my life that I have to do the hardest things to gain the most from. Today’s video was excellent and your writing was TOP NOTCH!

    Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us, and for being so honest about the risks you took, unknowingly, by hanging from the helicopter.
    I am curious to know what you will do with the letter. The video is a great way of creating a record of it - with extras. However the physical letter itself is also a fantastic historical item. I struggle myself with what should be done with treasures I have accumulated. Swedish death cleaning is a great idea, but how do you find a person that will appreciate a treasure like your letter?
    I guess the answer is that if you can't think of anyone who would appreciate something you should just let it go, but it's not easy. For example, what about a letter written 150 years ago by a great grandfather to his future wife?
    Interested in your views, Paul, and in the views of your followers.

      Hi Deborah,
      I struggle with this exact question. I have a bunch of photos and documents from my life, and from my parents and grandparents. A lot of that stuff is only important to me. Of all my siblings, it is probably my brother Noel that is most likely to want to keep some of my stuff. Caroline might want some too.
      The remainder is a bit problematic. I have no children to be interested in this stuff.
      Keeping it is a storage burden with no payoff.
      Making the video of that letter makes it easier for me to allow that letter to be physically disposed of.
      If there are no descendants to value that 150 year old letter, then perhaps you could make a video of reading it out and talking about how it makes you feel. Then perhaps you can let it go physically.
      But I acknowledge, it is a difficult topic.
      Paul.

    Nice you've had such an adventurous life Paul, many fond memories to recall. The years go by so quickly it's scary how fast. I have an opalised ammonite, they are beautiful and so unique in their geometry.

    • @PaulinPerth
      @PaulinPerth  Před 11 dny +1

      Please do. Journaling is well worth it. It makes you use your senses at the time, and you get the benefit of reliving the moment years later. Paul.

    Thank you, Paul, for sharing the best year of your life. The people and children are so beautiful. It touched my heart very much. How little it took to make them happy. Puts life in perspective, yes? Danger lurks at every turn. Always go with your gut feelings. Handsome then; handsome still. Much love to you and Caroline. ❤❤️🌻🌻

    Hi Paul, I normally don't do this kind of thing, but just came across this post and felt the guy was so reasonable. Also, the responses to his post are overwhelming in their agreement with his decision.
    Love you truly (Ann)
