a small repayment

Well I had several other thoughts today and started writing about other things. Michael Jackson dies, Farrah Fawcett dies and several thousand other people. We don’t know them. We really don’t know Mr. Jackson or Ms. Fawcett we just think that we do because or bits that have been flashed in to our lives.

Not to sound cold about it but everyone dies. I will at some point, you will at some point as well. Every single person who reads this will die. Will CNN or MSNBC cover your death or mine. Probably not. I won’t say they won’t because they may.

I’m not sure that the passing of actors and musicians warrant national coverage or even global other than to say they are gone, mourn their passing as you choose but this isn’t really earth shattering news.

I respect everyone’s right to mourn the passing of persons meaningful to them. I admire the practice of persons going back to the land. Just as a person felt they were no longer useful to the community they would wander into wild and then go to the flora and the fauna. That is a very polite way of saying things but either dying of exposure and rotting into the ground or having the animals kill and eat you and what they don’t eat rots into the ground. A small repayment to the planet for sustaining one’s life for the years


Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.

Ciao,
