Day ? - Death and taxes

Been a lot of death lately amongst the folks I new and know.

As an aging knuckle-dragger in the homeless wars, I am amazed watching the next generation deal with the realities and absurdities of their chosen profession, and the amazing grace with which they approach the dying and memory of the dead. I am awed by so many people each day, and shamed to see the flame that burns so bright in them that I have let consume me altogether.

Had to stop writing for awhile. Although many of the experiences I have had are funny stories told now, they brought back a lot of the pain and uncertainties that plagued me at the start of this weird journey I have been on. Wasn't sure if I wanted to go back and relive those moments, so much not to be proud of. But for better or worse, I am heading back into the great void and mean to finish the journey as it began, with hope and humour.

Next stop, the death of Willy the Greater!
