death is getting closer to home...

there is this idea, for many of us... who see society, and news, and hear of death often, but don't experience it touching our lives so directly...

two folks have died in the last week...neither one was i SUPER close to, but both of them i had humyn interaction with, and they have left lasting imporessions on me, and MANY of the folks that i care about...

that is the more impactful part of it... so many people feel sad.... who have survived....

and i feel that.

i feel sad.....

and you know, it's interesting... i talk a lot, and LIKE to talk/feel/theorize about modern-day dying, and funeral processes, and now the grief process as well...

i am interested in death, it's whole process and impact...

and still, when it comes close to me, to my life, and the people i care about...

i feel really sad, every time...

it's a humyn experience, and PROCESS.

rest in peace Michael stone, and Mawe Bahari... a yogic/Buddhist/activist teacher... and a roots/drummer/Rasta/flowing Man... rest in peace sincerely ;(

you both have just planted seeds upon your death, to pick back up my pieces of my practices that you both LIVED, committedly.

i respect that so much in folks...

may i live that much more authentically as well, for the remainder of my life.

i'm thankful for their reminders.
