Everybody dies

It began with comedian George Carlin. That was a big big shocker. I loved that man's mind. He told it like it is. Then it was my web designer Peter Igo whom I mentioned in my last post. He died of cancer. At least that what they say, right? "It's always something" as comedian Gilder Radner once said. Then I heard about Robert Butts passing away in May. He was husband, writer, painter, and transcriber for Seth of Jane Roberts. Man! I was surprised but he was 'up there' in his years and chose a probable death. Then a man in my town named Richard died. He was an alcoholic and worked two jobs. Everytime I saw him he looked dissatisfied and overworked. Then the big news came much closer to home: my new girlfriend's sister's fiance died in a motorcycle 'accident.' I say that because I know there are no accidents. But we'll just leave it at that.

Then the world received even bigger news of Death: Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes died last weekend. Is it just me? What in the hell is going on? I ended a relationship of 12 years. My best friend is moving to a new city to get a Ph.D. Now this? Oh, there's more. Chris Calloway, daughter of the famous Cab Calloway died last week. She was a local celebrity in Santa Fe. Last year I did a show with Chris Calloway. We had so much fun together. She had this presence about her that was big. It's all a dream...

How many others died whom didn't get recognition? I'm sure there's so many that I cannot count. Many souls are transitioning at this time. Why? The planet is shifting tremendously and all the souls whom we love dearly and cherish and checking out. Our time on Earth is precious. Do you know when your time will come? Even the world's tallest woman died this week. Gosh, everybody dies...
