Some things, it's said, are beyond knowing. Ultimately, I guess, it's all snow on the water.

But I know we're all gonna miss Ben... it's just hard to imagine he won't come clomping into the coffeehouse anymore... some people really leave an indelible mark... though you might not think about it until they're gone. I still think about our old pal, Danner. And I only knew him from the coffeehouse. I knew Ben for over twenty years and used to read his college paper comics almost a decade before that...

Clearly the universe is not well managed, when a perfectly nice guy goes toes up from heart failure in his mid-forties. But thanks for the song; somehow music and poetry give a sense of order.

Thanks, Anon.

I find much solace in the wisdom of those who've gone before and I appreciate your kind thoughts. Take care of yourself. And go out there and live. It must be what we're here for...

Loving friends! Be wise and dry
Straitway every weeping eye; What you left upon the bier Isnot worth a single tear; Tis a simple sea-shell, one Out of which the pearl has gone. The shell was nothing, leave it there; the pearl – the soul – was all, is here. ~ Ralph Waldo Trine
