No matter how We live or die, We all end the same, in silence. All of Our hopes and dreams in life become mere echoes of a tale cut short. But if We're lucky enough, Our stories live on. Our song finds voice in the hearts of those who remember Us and loved Us. It has been said that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken, that We are only truly gone when We’ve disappeared from the memories of those who loved Us, meaning a great artist never dies. As long as his books are read, his paintings admired, as long as Our songs are sung, We may each of Us live forever. As for Me, maybe it’s time to learn a new song. Fortunately, I have an excellent teacher. Forever ! Nov-18/2014

Sex, drugs, skydiving.It’s strange that the things We do for a thrill, in order to make ourselves feel alive, are the same things that may kill Us. The same is true when it comes to human relationships. The people We love the most are the ones capable of hurting Us the most deeply. It's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Our body feels pain to warn Us of danger. But it also reminds Us We're alive, that We can still feel. That's why some of Us seek it out, while Others choose to numb it. Solitude has always been my analgesic of choice. But what if feeling nothing is the worst pain of all? What if the sharing of pain connects Us to Others and reminds Us that none of Us is alone as long as We can feel? Forever ! Nov-11/2014
