Subject: RE: Obit: Roger Coult, Woja the Hippy (9 March 2008)
One of the most beautiful things I read on here was from 'our Nita' who said - and I quote: "smiles still sit on synapses waiting to be catapulted into consciousness…" words so highly relevant and so highly evocative they made me laugh and cry at the same time. They're just so completely fitting for Roger. I often hold on to that sentiment. I would imagine that other people do so too.

Time has a strange way of always seeming to belong to the future and then suddenly sneaking in to the past. Today seemed to be a long way away - and now it's been and gone. (It's 00.09 the day after the date of Roger's funeral) A year ago, everyone, I think, was shocked, stunned, horrified by the sudden turn of events. Today marks the first full anniversary of Roger's life - everything else (Easter/ father's day/ birthday/ Xmas/ etc.) has been revisited.

And now - there remains the future - and 'Nita's words'. I think she was extremely intuitive and exceptionally wise when she used those words for Roger. For each and every one of us "smiles still sit on synapses waiting to be catapulted into consciousness..." I look forward to every single smile from every single memory - and I think we all do. Everyone knows who 'Nita' is - but I take my hat off to you lady. (if that's not rude!) :) I think you have written the most beautiful tribute to Roger that I could imagine.
