Just so you know.

A friend of mine took his life this weekend.

He was a yoga instructor, a fire breather, and a becon of light, until he extinguished it.

i can't figure out why he did that, but I want you all to know.

I will never. NEVER. follow in his footspets.

Thank you.

I am sorry to hear this. It's never easy. There were things going on that you did not know. (odviously)
Much love man. Really. '
I'm not suicidal often anymore. I have been that crazy for years; even when i was back east.
it's not sane.
it's so don't try to figure out why he did it.

Raise a glass to his memory. to who he was. to things he did. Thats the best thing you can do.

I am glad you will not follow him.

I can only hope that he found his way to where his heart can finally be light.

Yeah, I found out, at the BBQ! As in, I've been so out of the loop, I didn't know that what I thought was a BBQ was more like a Wake.
Sadly, he was one of quite few I've known and admired, who in the end had to 'check out early'.
I'll never understand it.
Bright, young, talented, and yet clearly something must have been lacking. . .
You'll be missed G.
As they say, "Shine on you crazy diamond. . . "
I think the only way I'll ever follow in his footsteps is if I catch something terminal. I'll do my best to hang on and live life to it's fullest until it gets too bad to do anything about, and then hopefully have my nearest and dearest with me as I bow out, with my dignity still intact.
