It's been an intense and emotional month so far to say the least.
There was the 2 yr memorial of Richie's passing and some revelations into some past mysteries that I've patiently been waiting for answers to that have finally shed light.
It seems as if the universe is slowly opening up. The best news is that my dear friend and brother, Arick is getting engaged!
I wanted to share an excerpt from a great book with everyone.
It puts things in perspective for me.

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well.
Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.
How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood,
some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it?
Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that.
How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty.
And yet it all seems limitless."
from the Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles
