I dunno...all those feelings are still here threatenin' to drown me sometimes if I don't find somewhere to put them.
What was it you said? A person has three deaths...
Their literal death
The death of the last person to know them
The last time their name is spoken
??? :-\ ???

Truman told me the Indian thoughts on death, in a PM when we were talking about my father, and I too, have not forgotten it, and have re-told it to many people since I heard it.....the response has been that of intrigue and agreement, and I'm sure it will be repeated many more times.
You are so lucky Lynne to have been able to spend time with Truman, no doubt, some of your conversations must have been quite spiritual......I'm hoping I will get over there for the Alberta trip, and meet up with him too.

Truman.... are you Native too? This sounds suspiciously Lakota. I remember my Mother telling me people of our tribe suffer two deaths; The day we physically die, and the day the very last person who remembered us passes from this world.
This was "Nakun" to the Sioux (to be "known" or "remembered")
Perhaps my Mom was combining "The death of the last person to know them" and "The last time their name is spoken" together. Or perhaps I am not remembering it correctly. :)

Our own stories, great clouds from the past, boiled down around us, but we were safe on the meadow, safe with each other for a little while.
What a zigzag road into our hearts this story has been!
And now there's goin' a be a big get-together in Colorado over Memorial Day Weekend with another trip up to Brokenback. Sure hope I see you and all our folk there...and maybe even up in Alberta in July. Time to get goin', Folks!
