Thread Name: Rick Fielding's passing. (March 20, 2004)
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's passing.
I've been running all day doing that Mom and chauffeur thing, and my mid day stop found the news, but no time to process. But as I jumped back in the car with two kids Acoustic Workshop was in the CD player and for once, music choice was not debatable. I had a couple of hours between drop off and pick up just to wander.

I kept coming back to the discussion we had in Toronto after the CD Release. How could something that held so much caring and community not be Spiritual ? Of course it is. I was playing with words yesterday to try and share some stuff I've been reading on this, but it wasn't quite ready yet.But it's community and caring and reaching out to others to come join in the song, it's cutting through the bullshit to ask the questions that matter... Stuff that Rick encouraged in each of us in different ways. This thread is just one more example.Of course you know my tears are flowing, and yes, Heather I can hear you abrubtly changing the subject...By the way, we won in the damn cub scout derby (theme not speed), pictures to follow. And hugs...

Blessings (anyway you'll take them)

Oh, and don't tell anyone, but I caught teenagers singing along on the way home tonite....
