Thank you Donavon for such thunderous, heartfelt words.

May we have the strength of a lion.
May we know the peace of a river
May we possess the courage to be the change we seek.

It takes all of those!  May we journey together in courage. 
Getting old isn't for the sheepish, but neither is living life to the fullest.

The passion of an artist is a blessing indeed.

  Dear friends,

  My heart aches. It swells.
  It contracts with grief and expands with love in the wake of the loss of 
our brother, Kevin Brock.
  He is woven into the fabric of our lives.
  I am comforted with that beautiful intricate shroud on my shoulders.
  Casting it off to stand bare and cry a river of tears.
  Still, I know this cloak is there when I come in from the cold moonlight of 
November, December...
  I can hear his laughter as he patts my heart, as he always did, with such 
encouragement.
  I believe our community, all those who were touched deeply by Kevin's life 
and death, now stand in the face of one of the greatest opportunities for 
spiritual growth in our lives thus far.
  Kevin has given us all so many gifts.
  Feel!
  That was his subtext in life and it is a doorway for us all to go deeper 
and live more fully.
  It is so easy to bullshit our way through.
  I do it all the time but, I feel ready for a change.
  Kevin's final gift, as he acheived Super Nova status and his energy and 
light flew in all directions in the universe, or was called by god, or 
perhaps spirited away on the day of the dead, was a challenge to each of us.
  You get to choose how that looks but the challenge stands none the less.
  How precious are those we stand by and love in this life?
  Where do our passions and convictions lie?
  In what ways do we seek healing for ourselves and this wondrous planet?
  What are we called to do?
  Now is the time.
  May we have the strength of a lion.
  May we know the peace of a river
  May we posess the courage to be the change we seek.

  With love and respect,
  Donovan

Nov 18 is my birthday, and I'm likely to be checking out the above
show at 506.  Grails are from Portland, Oregon and play instrumental
drug music (judging from their album and song titles, they appear to
be connoisseurs of Mexican black tar heroin.)  Kind of like Earth and
Scenic go to India and sit cross-legged on oriental rugs.  Silver
Apples are, of course, Silver Apples - as in the pioneering electronic
duo.  Although I believe one of the original members may be deceased;
synthesizer/oscillator/gadget player Simeon carries on though.  These
2 groups are touring together and switching off the headline spot, as
far as I can tell from their somewhat mysterious websites.

Earlier in the evening, Mrs. Golf plans to take me to dinner and a
movie.  I'm hoping for Pepper's Pizza and "Zack and Miri Make a
Porno."
