    And I wished for so long. Cannot stay.
    All the precious moments. Cannot stay.
    It's not like wings have fallen. Cannot stay.
    But still something's missing. I cannot say, yeah.

    Holding hands are daughters and sons.
    And their faiths are falling down, down, down, down.
    I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.

    Will I walk the long road?

    Cannot stay ...

    There's no need to say goodbye. (to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye ....)

    All the friends and family.
    All the memories going round, round, round, round.
    I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.


    And the wind keeps roaring. And the sky keeps turning grey.
    And the sun is set. The sun will rise another day.

    A fine tribute for your friend J.P. That one always gets to the core in a hard but good way.

    Best wishes.

  • Death is always a somber reminder for us to reset and keep the bigger picture in mind. We are all going to go... it's just a matter of when. We lose sight of this trapped in the rat race (at least I do).

    It's sad stories like the one JP shared that solidify my mindset with regards to balance. There's nothing like the present and you can waste a ton of precious present worrying about the future or, for that matter, the past.

    Just like everyone here, I've experienced some tragedies. And just like everyone here, I'll be the subject of a eulogy one day. Hopefully, people can find some nice things to say about me with regards to making a positive difference in some shape or form.

    As many people on this forum that find themselves in opposition to each other at various times (or all the times)... we all enjoy a cold beer on a hot day, we all have people we love, and we all like the sun on our face. As Roger Waters put it: ashes or diamonds, foe or friend, we're all equal in the end.

    It could be so simple.

    Could, should, and sometimes IS that simple.

    Bittersweet-ly lovely post, Thirty. And I'll say that you, along with many here, would and do garner my good thoughts, respect, and I hope well-articulated exchanges from here. Lord knows I've felt it from you lot.

    Oh, and my guy and I love Waters...might be a good musical way to go this evening.

    caring for people, caring for animals, not buying plastic, living simple with lots of beer.

    Also, adding on to Jason's post. 9 months ago my wife's boss' granddaughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 3 months ago she passed. 13 years old.

    Life is too short and hard enough without calls to war and cruelty to people and animals.

    Thanks, Hedo.

    You're one of the staple figures on the MT. I can remember first venturing over here from the Porch and thinking 'the Binaural person' was a person who had a great perspective on most items I took an interest in.

    It's been quite a while since then, but my initial perception has never changed.

    Speaking to some changes since the first few times I poked my head in here... where is Unsung? As much as I disagreed with him... I feel he had an important voice. And I think godfather's spelling has gotten worse lol!

    Unsung just up and left one day. Gotta give dude props for sticking to his guns (pun not intended, but entirely appropriate lol)

    At first I thought Hedo was overly PC, but over time I grew less combative and I realized she isn't PC, she's just a groovybear. Walks the walk on non-judgement and understanding, and she has fucking killer taste in music!

    I feel like we have settled into a nice little community over the past few years, I didn't see it when I first arrived guns a blazin in Dec of 13, so I don't know if it was always there and i didn't see it, if it was on hiatus and returned, or if it is newly forged... I'm thankful for a place where I can voice my (strong lol) opinions in a venue where I can respect the people with whom I might be disagreeing...even if the level of disagreement is huge.

  • Hedo does have great taste in music.

    Hedo is definitely a cool cat.

    Fresh from a hair appointment and full-on ginger =)

    The place I go is like nirvana. Warm, calm atmosphere and scalp massage every time. The owner and I always have these surprisingly spiritual and intimate discussions. And then there's Milo, his huge sheepdog...he gave me kisses and sweet eyes, and then I got his leg going full-on out of control while I gave him belly rubs.

    PJ_Soul... :)

    The only mental image I ever had of hedo is :smiley:
    Now I picture :smiley: as a ginger!
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    I LOVE the dyed deep red/purplish hair look, especially short cuts.
    First night home with the baby, dogs were excited but not problematic and they are settling down... Simon peed on the wall already lol so we are soon on our way to being old pros!
    Baby's first song outside of the womb was Leash, and then disc 2 starting with Who You Are from Milano '14...

    and i know he's reached my heart, in thin air"

    Well, I have been smiling a lot lately!

    (and make that a long-haired ginger)

    gambo, Leash sort of fits with cutting the umbilical cord. Plus Thin Air - so relatable though in a different way. I can imagine the thoughts and hopes and wishes...and LOVE...you must be feeling.

    To Jason, hope you're doing better today.
