Hold on to people. They are slipping away.

Today I found out a friend will be leaving this plane of existence far sooner than he should. My heart was heavy all day. It was very hard to focus on the work at hand, to even think at times. Knowing this special person loved the art I humbly create, I tried to focus my thoughts and carry on as best I could. It was not an easy thing to do. I know that is what he would want me to do.

My art documents memories for him. It was never about the “collecting”. It was about the memories. I hope each day he’s able to look at one of those posters and remember the good times. I hope it puts a smile on his face and in his heart.

Garth, I’m so very happy our paths crossed. My life has been richer because of it. I’m glad and honored to call you “friend”. I’m going to miss you on JC this year. I promise to share a toast to you among a boatload of friends.

Namaste’ Brother. You will be in my thoughts and meditations.

Sadness, Enlightenment and Questioning One’s Beliefs

Today has been especially trying for one who has chosen the path of peace and compassion. He chose a lifestyle and mindset he tries his best to practice each day his spirit resides in this body on this earth.

Today has been tough. Today his beliefs will tested. Today he will question himself. Today he will struggle with his feelings of rage, anger and vengeance.

Today two people’s spirits and lives to whom he has never met or known have brought him to question and deeply ponder his core beliefs. In one manner, he has known them since he started walking this path. They are extended family. They are one with him, thus the pain he feels is as deep as the loss of any family member.

Today the true test is how the world will walk through the fire. May Naomi’s and Alan’s spirits guide those decisions. May peace and compassion triumph in this world gone mad.

Today has been tough. We lost two of the people that the world needs most at this time.

Naomi and Alan you will be in the thoughts, prayers and meditations of the world. Know that your short time on this Earth made it a better place.

Namaste’
