Ignacio, I am sure you know that John is recovering from a serious automobile accident, and I wish him cyber love and peace while he does that. Even though he can no longer post here, to me this is still his thread, and always will be.
As much as it is fun to bandy words and ideas about with you--and I do sincerely enjoy it and do not wish to stop--I am aware of his presence here even in his absence. It is John who acted fatherly towards me in a spiritual sense, answering my scared little girl questions about the soul, and while I do not know what he was thinking or feeling when I sat on his figurative lap here, I was soothed and reassured by some kind of energy that he threw at me.
I do not know how he did that, but I am respectful of his knowledge and power even when he is being rude, crude and flagrantly inflated, to borrow your descriptions. Perhaps he did spend too much time with the beats--I definitely spent too much time with Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger--but I am sure his intellect is strong enough to overcome such an influence and remain vital. |
