The importance of history

[demiurgent]

I am reminded of how important the tapestry of one's life is, and how many elements and fibers are a part of that tapestry.

I was reminded of that today by Frank, through threats of loving violence.

I was reminded of that by Karen, who never ceases to surprise.

I was reminded of that by Chris, who reminds me that friendship is precious.

I was reminded of that by pir, who makes sense through chaos.

I was reminded of that by my father, who loves without condition.

I was reminded of that by my mother, who finds the heart of the issue through the dross.

I was reminded of that by my life, which refuses to be maligned or confused with my job, no matter how much I might try.

Thanks, all.

Speaking of history, here comes some...

Did I just hear someone say "apple"?

Eric-

Your presence is felt and appreciated by those who *should* feel and appreciate your presence; screw everybody else. The ripples you've created in the cosmos go father than you might have ever realized. The measure of your relative value cannot be measured by you. Be aware that the lives you've touched carry that experience beyond your knowing.

Crap, I sound like a bad hallmark card.

Since we can't debate this circling the Charles River Basin a 4 AM (what the hell were we thinking??) you're gonna have to trust me on this one, buddy. By the way, we miss your face.

Life is an interesting thing. One must at times step back an examine where things are and put it into perspective. Eric, I think that you did well in doing this but might have been a bit to harsh on yourself. You have done at least one thing to me, you got me to love roll playing and through it expanded my mind and lead me to some very good friends later down the road. In GodSpell, I learned from you the importance of not being afraid and to try and take that chance.
Secondly, after one does a good self examination, it is best to look for solutions to those issues that are of concern. There is no time like the present to correct the mistakes of the past. Seize the day.
