Shattered Reverie


Today I had two things happen that have shaken me up out of my blighted sense of things. A good friend past away last night, he battled cancer and went peacefully with his mother and girlfriend Deb at his side. Al (The Beast) was a wonderful guy, very soft spoken and intelligent. He was in my Pagan group of friends and will be missed very much. It has shaken me out of this reverie that I have been in lately. I must LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST EVERY DAY!!

Then I went awhile ago to Nova's Blog,,, which I have listed on the sidebar under my links. She posted today something so simple and profound that I burst into tears and let it ALL OUT. Please visit her site, she is one very special person. But I have to share what she wrote here, because it is now my New Theme song!!!

''Sometimes it is just better to let the broken little pieces of our lives scatter into the wind, rather than hopelessly try to gather and mend something that will always be cracked." - NovaAlindogan

Somehow, I have been trying to get what she has written in such a few words, and when I read it, it really clicked for me. See, Blogging is more than just a pasttime, it really is what I believe is part of the Emerging World Consciousness. Our thoughts fly through cyberspace, and they sometimes hit another humans neurons flashing in their brain,,, and BAM connection on a deep deep level. I don't KNOW any of you ''Personally" but spiritually, you are my brothers and sisters,, each of us sitting in our own pews giving sermons that really have the power to transform and heal wounds that others have deep inside. I find it so remarkable and know in my heart that my new friends,, like Amias, Nova, Rachael, Kate, Barbara, Little Sparrow, Sunyata and so many others,,, (who I promise to make links too also) they have become more than just Names on the Internet, they are souls that lift me up when I am down and listen to me when I just run my mouth at 100mph. You all are very special to me and my own growth as a human,, so well done. You all are STARS to ME!!!

Today I'm feling lie a star... like an ex-child star. Dana Plato oomes to mind. Lok for me in the headlines or the obituaries.

I'm sorry, that was meant to be colorful... not scary. I'm not gonna rob anybody or die. I'm just in a low spot. A spot below sea-level, and my gills haven't quite evolved yet...

Wow... Scott, I am so sorry to read of the loss of your friend. I know what it feels like to lose someone very close, and especially to cancer. My condolences and my heart go out to you and to your friend's loved ones.

I am happy that my little quote gave you some enlightenment. It sort of came upon me too as I was contemplating certain decisions about my life. I had come to realize that I was always trying to fix some things in my life that just were not meant to be fixed and were just always "cracked" to begin with. So now that little quote is like my mantra, and I am happy to know that it has touched you in a positive light.

Be well, my friend. I am glad our cyberpaths have crossed.

What a beautiful post, and heartfelt words for your friend.

You are an enlightened soul, and your friend is lucky to have you by his side.
