He walked with us a only a short time but long enough to make life seem a little brighter. He's gone now but his brightness remains. I imagine I will remember his smile for a long time. We are going to miss him. "There is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His throne comprises the heavens and earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the All-Glorious." (2:255) Thinking of Fawaz, too.

Just wow. Well said, Mr.Glenn Buttkus, well said. The sentiments I felt all rolled up into such a thoughtful and succinct bundle of words! You are an anonymous, intimate soul, Rick - a friend by most definitions - and it saddens me to hear you say that self-consciousness keeps you from freely flowing here on this site. Its a familiar self-consciousness for most bloggers, I suspect, myself included. I empathize with your struggle. I've walzed with the shadow of that particular doubt often. The words and pictures you post inspire me. I hope that you continue to freely produce them somewhere in the blogoshpere - hopefully somewhere that they can continue to inspire and motivate others in a positive direction, as they have me. :) And that you periodically share them here with those of us who have become familiar with you through this creative outlet. Namaste! Wow. Just wow.

POEM FOR THE FAMILY is great to revisit, one of your better prose poems by the way. I think I posted it over on FFTR over a year ago. Still it is terrific to revisit it. For a time back there you poured many hours a week into your blog, keeping several dozen of us entertained, informed, and stimulated. We marveled at your stamina and creativity. The last few months have been quiet over here, and we Mobbs fans have only been worried that your life was calling, and the issues of that were talking all your juice and time. I am sad to hear that your identity relative to this blog, pulls down some on your emotions. I have learned to care about you and yours, and do miss the updates, challenges, artwork, and philosophy. But it is what it is, and we will check in regularly to pick up whatever you lay down, sir. My arm is around your shoulder. My gaze is locked on your gaze. You have friends, of a sort, out here in the cyber ozone. Glenn Oh so nice to read your words and sense your presence in this world.
