We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."

 

It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.

 

Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.

 

So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)

And one more link to carry you onward...

The river moved fast and the clouds overhead were changing swiftly but for me the moment was still.

 

Holy smokes - I look at this after the Monday morning rush and start of the week and I want to go back! I'll close my eyes and dream....for now! :-)

 

Happy new week all! Hope it is filled with good thoughts and calm waters.

Macro Mondays ~ Wire

 

My husband's old, discarded guitar wire is my inspiration today.

 

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

Sometimes finding balance in life is like walking a tight rope. Lean a bit too far one way and everything is lost.

When going through a tunnel, the only direction is to go toward the light.

There is a tunnel.

Today we got the news......there is light.

Breathing easier. 'Nuff said.
