An uncomfortable silence...

I like you, he said - I like you too she replied. At that moment he opened up his eyes and allowed her to look straight inside him. He let her make her way up, through the maze of his nerves. He let her crawl up his veins until she found his soul- And at that moment they had found it, -They had reached the uncomfortable silence only it was not uncomfortable.

The Tribe to Harry...

There comes a time in life when life becomes life, when the chips are grounded, when the supposedly fat lady has had her tune and fate has shown her elusive face. We are at such a time and while we may not understand the change in tide, we will celebrate the moment in true tribal grandiose like we know how to. Tonight we celebrate a man, tonight we toast to a marvelously marvelous character, we celebrate a man we have grown to love with a dash of hot pepper to taste. Here is to you Harry, a true man's man, you have become a friend to all of us and we are honored to to call you a brother. May the good times roll and may God's face shine ever so brightly upon you and your jeune family. A la votre sante!

How do you describe everything? With what words do you define entirety? How do you paint the picture of a man, the portrait of a friend who has given and continues to give everything? With what words do you portray a man whose outlines you cannot imagine, a man you constantly chisel your living around with some hope that one day, that for one moment, you can make up a resemblance. The answer is you do not, when you have received so much from someone, you give. You attempt to give thanks, you make it your duty, your obligation to give thanks and humble yourself because God blessed you that much. You thank God and beg him to keep him; you pray that God illuminates his living ever so brightly. I have learned that it is only through God’s constantly renewed mercies that we are we, that we are what we are, that we were there, that we have been 60 years ago, 35 years ago, 30 years ago… That it is only through God’s mercies that we will be here in the next hour for the next hour that
