Another great creative soul has left our midst and journeyed into the Great Beyond.  As most everyone knows, Steve Jobs finally succumbed to cancer after a brilliant worldly career. His creative drive sparked Apple Computers and Pixar, but I’m not going to be so bold as to profess I can tell even a fraction of his story. 

October, November, and December are months that I for one can’t help but equate with loss.  Our good friend Lew left this world 3 years ago this month.  Goodness how time flies, yet drags along.  Last night, HBO broadcast the first part of a new film about George Harrison, who left in November of 2001.  And then of course John Lennon was literally shot into heaven in December of 1980.  I mention these not to glorify any of them; but one cannot help but reflect when someone you love deeply and / or has affected your life passes on.

This is supposed to be an installment of “Happy Friday!!!,” so I won’t go dabbling into any morose analyses of all this life and death stuff.  No, I think I will just make this short an sweet, so to speak.

However I would like to close with the thought that grief is an expression of love.   And love for friends, family, Mother Nature, and our fellow creatures (all creatures) is, in my mind anyway, the most valuable and indeed  the most powerful force in the universe.

OK, enough of such babbling… here’s a little stroll down memory lane.
