It's gorgeous Lock, and very appropriate.

         That is very beautiful, but i wish i felt your hopefulness.  i feel hopeless.  All the things i
thought i had learned, are somehow back to square one.

Those images, rural, serenely agrarian, brought to mind two shepherds riding along the purple-sage horizon, forever watching their flock and each other, forever together. The soul slips away but is never lost.

There is a dignity in death, and courage in facing it, passing through it. Thank you, Heath, for your courage.

Hi Buds.  I'm just wandering aimlessly.

It was fine Janice, remember I said I thought you needed to be meaner.

I explained it to someone last night like this:

"We are all just standing there, breathing shallowly, and over here is his body like some invisible thing, the shell of Heath left to be buried, just waiting until it is finished so we can breath, make noise again, speak coherently."

The anticipation of memorial services, burial, on the otherside of the world from where he died. I wondered aloud if any of my friends and acquaintances in Australia lived in Perth, as I understand there is not much near Perth.

And the containment, I cannot get past, I was here before him, I am still here, and I know what he will miss.

My mind is still trying to put a stamp of humanity on celebrity worship, trying to make sense of the meatless statement Mary Kate Oleson issued. What should one expect from a plastic automaton who derives a handsome living from being a personality? Pathetic, the way these people live their lives.

There are times you don;t go looking for words because you know that in your own language or perhaps any language, there are none to express how you feel, and if you cannot even express it to yourself you cannot fully know how you feel.

But there is music. And there is Samuel Barber's Addigio for Strings. Barber died on this day in 1981, and this piece sums up how I feel, hollow and haunted and peaceful, even hopeful.

But sad. Very sad.
