on michaels birthday, another young soul left us - heath ledger - and i instantly felt as i did when michael died - and brandon lee - and nick drake - the parallels are brutal - these lives and deaths effect the lives and deaths of people that never met, worlds apart..... we are not so different and distant....at 37, i am lucky to still be alive and blessed to have “known”, been changed by the hearts and gifts of these men. in my heart, they will not be forgotten. i undersand, dear friend, i do.
