Or that human life may disappear completely if we continue to live with the single goal of producing and consuming as much as possible?<br /><br />I understand this post may have come from a place of grief, but I can see from your other articles that you truly believe in this nonsense. Shame on you.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188157527791347530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774848724259616420.post-10681215813954048122008-06-26T11:53:00.000-07:002008-06-26T11:53:00.000-07:00I met Roger at Earlham College 1973.

We shared housing for over three years: 3 months in a three-sided cabin in Vermont, a year on the third floor at "Furnas Mountain" and another two years in a place we called the Armadillo Palace. We shared a lot of loves: wilderness, volleyball, friends, birds. He laughed from his belly and his heart all at the same time. When he smiled, his eye-corners crinkled and smiled too. I have a great picture of him climbing down the walls of Bruha Canyon in Big Bend, buck naked. <BR/><BR/>Roger came all the way from Alaska to my wedding, so Jon and I invited him to come on our "honeymoon”! (A weekend hiking around the Georgian Bay in Canada) I didn't go on Roger’s honeymoon, but I watched him marry Cyndi, then spent a great weekend with his family (old and new) in a beach house in California. So many more memories.<BR/><BR/>The last time I saw Roger, he brought Cyndi and their 3 kids to visit my family in California. We spent the day in San Francisco at Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square. Lots of ice cream, laughing, talking, sharing. Enjoying the important people in each other's lives. Even though it had been over fifteen years since I'd seen him, it felt like 15 days. There are just some people who are so a part of us, they never seem to be far away. Even when they die. And yet, the world is less without him. There is an empty place inside me that used to hold him in my future. Life is just too short for all the loving to be done.HaynesBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263223513305886233noreply@blogger.com
