a gentle man winks and tips an edge of smile at the hearty mango sunset. turns to wander. picking up the pace he skips to swirl a-breeze.
You shouldn’t miss me, I am always here or here about. Easy to find.
Being everywhere is just a result of fiddling with the time machinery.
rabbit preens soft-evening-velvet ears. senses poise for the heady taste of marigold.
so close. very. now.
delicious revelation caught in the hop of unexpected farewell. bite. life.

forget me now 
Shell, can I tell you something strange that you italicized quote reminded me of? I found out about Paul’s passing as I was packing, hours before a flight to go to a workshop called “stalking time” (don’t ask). As I was packing I saw a t-shirt flutter out at me that I bought from Paul years ago with “time is just not linear” on it, and I thought of how much fun I was going to have telling him about this workshop after. Then I found out minutes later. Strange, huh? I felt him there with me, that none of this was a coincidence.
Its nice, seeing who his friends are and discovering that other people loved him too, like I did. Wasn’t he just a consistently wonderful spirit? I don’t even feel like blogging now that he’s gone, he took the magic with him…
…long personal post from one stranger to another stranger 🙂
harmonie – sychronicity’s everywhere, in each moment
no coincidences, hey? that t-shirt was created with a purpose and i believe it was fulfilled when it fluttered … yep, Paul did that …
*smiles*
was the workshop wonderful? i love its title! so i guess i’m asking *heh
it is extraordinary how much of a core Paul was, i miss him but y’know, if we stop writing (or even trying to) we’re kind of letting the cause down? sliding on our backsides down the scree into … something we shouldn’t encourage …
magic is ….
let it be through you too
*ahem … remember your chosen (screen)name
i’m so happy to have met you, harmonie …
please return sweet not-a-stranger at all!
