I've been away

8zeros · 09-08-2018, 08:04 PM

I just checked back in after a while. I have been attending to life's complications and and I have kept enjoying cigars but not enthusiastic about it. I have my cigar smoking buddies or I just get time to relax and enjoy.
So I find out Peter, Pnoon, has passed. Man, that hurts me for some reason. I never met the man. I had minimal interaction with him. I liked him. He was a defining presence on this board. I miss him here.
People do pass all the time and we get over it. I care a lot about the ones I know and love and I feel their pain and loss. I also feel their happiness and love. This is the burden and the blessing of empathy.
Everyone, look at yourselves. Look at the ones you know. How do they show up to you? How do you show up to them?
Be the one you want them to be.
RIP, Peter.

Well put, Roger.

Peter's loss is immeasurable in this community.

Glad you're back Roger.
Well said. If we all strive to be a fraction of the man he was, this world is a better place.
