CRC,
The concert is much appreciated. I’d like to request that you allow the NEM to be open to us big kids too. Even if we haven’t time to play now, we may in the future. Have fun with the interview tonight.
Your Frienduzi,
Aduzi
CRC, your bitter-sweet melodies is very touching; so our your heartfelt words. before I begin, I must say hello to John and the rest of our group. It is beautiful how we can come together without being judgmental.
Now, I am about to visit my doctor, but I feel that it is important to express my heart.
I don’t see your mission as a “Tag Your It” type of thing. It is more about a “Touch A Heart” concept.
Thanks for touching mine. God moved me towards you. I know everyone has their own interpretation of God, and I respect that. My faith is keeping me strong. I believe that we will see our loved ones again. There is such a thing of eternal life.
My entire family has been helping me to cope with the loss of my brother. He was flattened in the gutter like a squirrel; the law is protecting his killer. But I refuse to get mad as hell.
Love is going to prevail and so is my faith. Thank you CRC & EVERY HEART that is reading this. Our differences have helped to make a difference. We have people from ALL walks that love us so. I even hope that you speak to Priya. He is one of India’s jewels. I love him, his wife and the entire jewels that glisten with them.
Thank you CRC, you posted I Am on OTL. By doing this, I have connected with Aduzi, Cali, Caroline and many more hearts. I am writing on the run, so please forgive me.
Final words: it is a rough time for the both of us, please know: as the pain subsides, we will be able to connect with those loving feelings that we had for our loved ones. Sadness has a way of blocking our heart’s. Like I mentioned earlier, I refuse to get mad as hell!!! I part with much LOVE.
Now I better run to my doctor.
From the heart, to the heart, and that is forever!!!
Christopher – there will always be moments when you miss loved ones you have lost, it is inevitable. I lost my mother when I was a teenager, my father and youngest brother within 45 days of each other in 1990, and my oldest and dearest friend last year and the desire to just have one more conversation with each one of them never goes away.
For that reason, I always make it a point to express my feelings to those I care about, without reservation. I don’t let my husband leave the house without letting him know that I love him and I ask God to protect and help all my loved ones every day.
I know that in a single moment, life can change, and we only really have the present, which is sometimes mind boggling, but we have not guarantee of tomorrow so we have to stay in the moment. I try not to waste these precious moments with anger or regret, but as you said, we are human, and as such we are always trying to attain something we don’t have.
Don’t let the melancholy consume you because it is too easy for it to spin you into a downward spiral of inaction and depression. Dwell on the wonderful comedy of the relationships you have shared and the lessons learned from them. Life is laughter and tears, but both are capable of healing.
When you allow yourself to be grateful for the treasures in your life, you heart smiles.
I appreciate your very intelligent comment. You see, I am sorry, for me, my heart rules my mind. If I trusted my mind, I would be too dangerous.
Long ago, as the hobo prophet, I made a video about a certain monster. Some people believe that the original Frankenstein movie was strictly a horror movie. Like your Bloodhead movie, I see these two stories about the shortcomings of humanity. In Frankenstein, people had much hate because of his ugly appearance.
Cutting to the chase – When the blind hermit approaches Frankenstein and embraces and rubs the scars on his arm and then gives thanks to God, is that considered a “Tag Your It Now Pass It On ” action?
Frankenstein had mental issues, but his heart, it was loving. It is too bad the people did not give him a chance.
Thanks for having an open-heart and not being judgeMENTAL.
It is wonderful to read the jocular repartees that you two engage in, which only show how close you are to each other at heart as well as through the mind One is an Artist and the other an Artist’s promoter, so there is really not much difference between the two.
Yes, there is an after life in which we are all bound to meet the loved ones we have lost, but how wonderful the loved ones we still have, and the friends that we have made. Having lost some how zealously must we keep the ones that we have. A toast to your friendship, in which I include mine as well!
Whoa, Priya! Something moved me to check to see if any one else made a comment. Wow, am I feeling much joy! I am just a common man, and I am honored to be able to communicate with such scholarly people of different faiths and walks…I mean this from the bottom of my heart.
My hope is that CRC’s Radio will be able to connect with the beautiful hearts around the world, especially on the Himalayas. Before I continue about my feelings on CRC and his show, I need to apologize for not adding your name into the OTL list. Much can be said about our coming together.
Anyhow I am struggling not to express this, but I can no longer hold my heart back. There are many people who are very jealous of CRC. They also hate the fact that I have been a loyal friend. I am no fool, I know that they conspire in the shadows. It is very sad, but too bad I am going to remain until CRC tells me to hit the road. Nuff said; Flipping Forward:
I raise my water bottle and ask you & everyone to join me in a toast to our friendship(s). We’re ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL!!!
I am definitely honored! Many years now, we have been having very sincere heart to heart exchanges. No one can deny how priceless these exchanges have been. They also soothe one’s soul.
And so…until we meet our loved ones, may our friendships continue to grow, while we bring honor to our loved one’s life and spirit each day.
FACT: I have been finding comfort and a peace that is helping me get through this rough time, while it goes without saying that your heartfelt comments touch me more than any one knows.
The touch and smell of a newborn to his parents – The embrace of 2 lovers – a dialogue between friends -All produce a human bond. Grief is evidence that a bond once existed between 2 people. The anger, denial, and depression felt during grief are all an inevitable part of being separated from one you love. Much like labor pains, grief is long, is work, and it hurts. The end result is birthing of acceptance and peace within one’s soul. Your sadness speaks of your humanity and love for your father. Keep pushing – and remember to breathe!
Take it from me Christopher…….Even if you had been on speaking terms when he died, you’d still be left with feeling as tho you could have done more or should have said more. From where your father is now…..he fully understands and forgives and wants you to move on and be happy. The best gift you can give him is to take the lessons he taught you and fly!
Oh….and um…..You WILL see him again. He’s just around the bend…..
Must be asleep at the board, for I forgot to mention, Laz, Aduzi, Anna, Shabaas, Joy, Amy, Catherine, Augy, Renee, Barn, Suzanne, Dan, Madonna U students & faculty, PAH Nation; the list goes on and on and on…. my family included-
And so…
A toast to our friendship!
Wishing you all the best life has to offer; may we never stop celebrating life as well as the memories of our loved ones.
It is easy for us to share our feelings when they are admirable and worthy of praise. We often try to hide the feelings that we may be ashamed of. Thank you for sharing, even if you didn’t like the way you were feeling.
I am (relatively) young, and I haven’t lost anyone that was close to me. I do not know how I would handle it. I’m not sure how much comfort can be portrayed through a plain text comment in english on a blog, but consider that I have stretched my arm through the digital universe to place around your shoulders and to lift you up.

Yes, “Touch A Heart” in terms of mental, but also ” Tag Your It Now Pass It On” in terms of action.
