I've got to make entries onto this blog beyond bad days, but yet again, I can't help myself. Today, I'm very saddened by the lost of Senator Kennedy, Lion of the Senate. AMAZING GRACIOUS MAN! He was one of my role models for social consciousness and I was fortunate to see him twice in my life: Once on the steps of Northeastern University in 1982 & again in 1989 @ the Kennedy Ctr in DC, when I had the opportunity to say hello and he graciously spoke to me and asked me if I like the show we had just attended. We spoke briefly about the talents of Lynette McGee, the show and then he departed in his limo. Despite his personal foibles, I will always consider him a gentlemen, kind hearted & fighter for the average American. Unfortunately, his passing this summer can be added to the list of famous celebs.
This has been truly a summer of death I've never seen before in my 40+yrs. Today: Dominic Dunn, son of Winston Churchill and the 'Lion of the Senate' noted for his longevity & ferocity, yet personal compassion. Earlier in this warm season, who can forget, Ed McMann, Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson.. what does this mean? I can't help believe something this way comes, but what? What I ponder awaits all of us, globally. The individuals who have passed have careers with a longevity that have extended several decades; staples of American society, ICONS. WHY? Is it a mercy to miss what comes or a misdirection of the future? Where are we all going and what does the future hold?
Something comes, what, I don't know but I believe those that are sensitive feel it. Tonight before you turn in for the night, say a prayer if you believe, for I don't, so say it for all mankind. I think we're gonna need it :)
PEACE.
