Grateful Dead

Beautifully said my brother... And I'll never forget that day when I first heard the news in '95. One of those moments/times & place of where you were, that one never forgets.

Just a few weeks ago, and for the first time, I shed real tears for Garcia's death.I had been a lapsed Deadhead after seeing some lackluster shows in the early 80's, and back when I first learned of Jerry's death, I sighed and shrugged; I lamented more how he had contributed to his own demise, than on what he meant. Thank goodness for the Internet Archive: it has brought me all the way back to a seat near the front of the bus. Only with the passage of time do I fully appreciate the towering musical accomplishment of the band. Reveling in all of those recordings, totally independent of the "scene", has validated for me that that those magic moments were as authentic an experience of transcendence as any person has ever had. And so recently when it came to picturing myself saying to another one of you beautiful people, "I miss Jerry", it really moved me, thinking he gave so much of himself to so, so many people, and how much life he fit into his 53 years. Praise be to the source of all Love.

I have a whole theory about water and "the way things go." I really ought to test it. I just need to set an hourly alarm to remember to drink the stuff! :) Thank you family!! <3

Some small thngs I do to turn a frown upside down: do something kind randomly, get outside for a walk, bubble bath, watch mr bean, stand on your head or stretch upside down off your bed for a bit. Drink water...

I would never advocate a quick fix.The time course of getting right is proportional to the duration of the situation that got you down. Nevertheless, In the end there's still that song Comes crying like the wind Down every lonely street That's ever been

Mmmmmmbop bop ....bop bop

You know what doesn't hurt? Jam of the Week!

Hey SD'ers. What are some of your favorite tricks for getting back on the sunny side of the street? The grind's got me down and I want to howl at the moon... but it's a new moon so she's in hiding. Natural remedies please ;) Should I just call it and listen to Blues 24/7 until it lifts? Blessings on your day. :)
