Like many in the world, I’m still shocked & saddened by Heath Ledger’s tragic death yesterday. Words seem inadequate to capture his essence but I’ll skip the YouTube tribute. Instead, I ask only that you use this event as an awakening opportunity of your own. Look around your precious life with an attitude of gratitude right now, for none of us knows when the end may come.
I’m going to spend tonight soaking in the sounds of Brokeback Mountain. As Ennis, Heath gave us an incredible gift wrapped inside each & every lock-jawed line. Living & loving large seems a good way to say, “We appreciate it.”
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can’t keep from cryin’
‘Cause he was a friend of mine. – Willie Nelson
