Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > Heath Ledger Remembrance Forum
A Moment of Silence (for Heath and all of us)

Please join the BetterMost community in a moment of silence at 3:00 PM ET, this Tuesday, February 12
Hi folks -
I'm not around here much these days, but have been following the developments since Heath Ledger's passing. Regardless of the divergent opinions expressed about his death, each of us has felt a unique connection with and gratitude toward Heath and what he brought into our lives via Ennis Del Mar.
So I am suggesting that we do something born out of that sentiment. There is tremendous power in thought and feeling. To have the intention of sending peaceful, loving, powerful vibrations to the soul of Heath Ledger, wherever you believe him to be, is to offer real comfort and solace to someone who is no doubt suffering from confusion, loss and remorse, as we ourselves have.
Everyone is invited to join in a collective moment of silence with the very specific intent of sending those energetic, compassionate thoughts and feelings exactly where they belong (Heath, his family, friends...). We know he passed away sometime on Tuesday, January 22; exactly when is not known, but probably sometime between noon and 3:00 PM.
This Tuesday will be the 3-week anniversary, so this is an invitation to observe a moment of silence at 3:00 PM ET, this Tuesday, February 12. You can be on-line, at home, at work - just a simple moment of silence, collectively observed. Feel free to spend that time in silent contemplation, thought, prayer, meditation... however you choose to create that peaceful intention, and send it to whomever you feel needs it, including yourself.
Another idea, looking a bit further ahead, is to repeat the moment on Heath's birthday. That's less than two months from now, and I'm sure a lot of us will be thinking about him on that day. Maybe a chat would be in order that day, too.
(This idea has been put together with the great input of various moderators, who offered wonderful suggestions, some of which have been quoted directly above - thanks).

Thanks for this beautiful idea, Celeste. It's great to see you back here, Friend. :-*
Here's a lovely mandala you posted way back when. It may help us get in the mood. :)
Ellemeno:
Yap, having you here is a silver lining. :-* It's a great idea. My moment of silence may have to be internal only - Mini-Meno and I are just settling into French class at 3pm on Tuesdays, with kids flying and rolling around us. Not silent, but Heath would probably have enjoyed the scene. :) And some articles say his mother is/was a French teacher.

You are in Spain, right? So there is a six hour difference. 3 pm in New York is 9 pm in Spain.
