Hello folks,
I learned, after reading some of his earlier posts, that Eagle passed away, and I seriously soaked up those first posts like a dry sponge would suck up water in the hot dry desert.
As a complete stranger to the thread It still hit me like a sucker punch to the chest to realize that the man that I had gotten to like so much in such a short time had passed away even before I started to read here.
It was an uncanny and erie thing to experience, and it indeed attributes to his powerful spirit and personality with which he continued to captivate my interest and liking for his easy style and demeanor.
I was sort of lost for a day or two to try and work through that "Terminator type of reality, non reality" phenomena. It is interesting to know that he is still "real" to me and that is very much alive when I read through his writings, even though I never even met him or even knew him before be passed on.
It just confirms to me the fact that for the most part, a righteous, kind and gracious person will have his name remembered for a long time versus a low down bad caracter, whose name will soon fade out of our collective conscious.
This may not hold true in all cases, but in general, that's how it seems to work.
I feel priveliged having been captured by the amazing spirit that is Eagle, and have felt the real man as if he were living.
I wanted to share this as an expression of my respect for this man who would surely have been my dear friend and source of wisdom.
My two cents worth. eyeball.
