Glad you noticed KatL.

Doubt that he is Resting In Peace - there is one tremendous celebration going on -

I like what Vincent vanGogh wrote to his brother Theo (Dear Theo by Irving Stone, Plume Publishing, 1995, copyright 1937 p 360.) ... to look at the stars always makes me dream as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? If we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. One thing undoubtedly true in this reasoning is this; that while we are alive we cannot get to a star, any more than when we are dead we can take the train. So it seems to me possible that cholera, gravel, phthisis, and cancer are the celestial means of locomotion, just as steamboats, omnibuses, and railways are the terrestrial means To die quietly of old age would be to go there on foot."

You share a lot in common with Larry Norman.... Ms. KatL... read some of his lyrics.
