Very cool indeed! You guys are terrific.
Walking back into TradGang from too many years wandering in a desert of shallow humanity is like stepping over a threshold from black and white into living color. At least it was for me.
The tragic loss of a brother transformed into a living tribute like this is nothing short of miraculous....here there is always plenty of wood for the eternal campfire.
My wife will often sit with me as I stillhunt through the threads here. She is a kind and curious Chinese woman having many questions about the free world which many of us take for granted.
She does not understand this phenomenon - how anyone would reach beyond the bounds of the family and express oneness with the rest of the world.
It is too difficult to explain in word because it exists in the power of deed. Last week we found a perfect example while reading through a thread together.
She saw the avatar of Killdeer and we had to dwell there bit. She looked for a moment and then she said softly...beautiful.
To me, TG is a lot like that headdress....the fullness of color and texture and culture and tradition shrouding the background from a kind and beautiful face. Each feather having its own purpose...together the creation brotherhood.
I never knew Chris but I can easily feel him here. He lives through his friends. It is my honor to be numbered among you all!
