To one of my favorite heroes

 

Thank you for giving us space -
and rest in peace, our daring gallant man

"I put up my thumb and shut one eye,
and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. 
I didn't feel like a giant. 
I felt very, very small."  

                  - Neil Armstrong

Shutting it down.

Quiet is peace. Tranquility.

Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life.
Silence is pushing the off button.

Shutting it down. All of it.

… Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“no fear of ridicule, as ridicule has its way regardless,
so dance on, whether you fear or you don’t… you’re loved
and you’re loved and loved by me.” - Hall Ris, cir. 1964.
