I just recently heard that Jeremy had died.
Not passed on.
I refuse to hide from the fact that we will all die.
Life is but a promissory note
and soon or late, we all will hear the knock on our door
that the foreclosure is due.
We will have lost priceless treasures existing in our Now by the searching for Tomorrow's fool's gold.
Jeremy Hawkins wrote in comment to one of my posts:
"I have been trying to obtain a dream or reality for some time now and for me...
I have hit the bottom.
Many life situations have sucked my creative side dry and my steps, sites and attention proves it.
Do we get it back, can I... I only hope too.
Sadly, it's a long road... dreams are for those who like me, trying and failing.
Though I keep trying, but there is nothing I am trying for at the moment...
Though I keep trying, but there is nothing I am trying for at the moment...
and that thing called reality, that just sucks.
I think I went off topic... dammit, sorry."
He was beautiful to all those who knew him. And for the others who did not understand.
It was their loss.
He had a fascinating interview with The Left Hand of Horror:
with Art design, T-Shirts, a supportive word, or even a post on his magazine, SIX STRINGS
as he did with me:
Hi Roland - thank you for letting me know more about Jeremy - I appreciate the links ... the Thomas Bergersen Immortals clip is a delightful listen - very emotive. His talents are ones I appreciate, yet don't fully understand ... so thanks so much for opening my eyes. An excellent and very appropriate post for Jeremy's talents ... such a sad loss for this unique man. Thank you - Hilary
ReplyDeleteDo any of us understand ourselves, much less anyone else? :-) Thank you, Hilary, for always being supportive of all those in your life.
DeleteI was also featured in Six Strings - he made sure his friends got a feature.
ReplyDeleteThat comment is so Jeremy. He doubted so much and yet he was still so talented.
Sometimes the truly talented are doubtful of themselves. He was a great soul.
DeleteSuch a beautiful tribute. Thank you, Roland.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joylene, for such nice words. Have a wonderful February. :-)
DeleteJeremy was most certainly real.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely,, in the best possible way.
DeleteA great tribute, Roland. Jeremy has been well remembered today.
ReplyDeleteSince Covid-19, I have been swamped by blood runs day and night, so I have not been able to visit as I want. :-(
DeleteI'm sorry for your loss.

The loss, Anna, belongs to all who knew him.
DeleteI'm sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful person. Your tribute to him is heartfelt.
ReplyDeleteSo many in this world toil unseen under the radar, their impact only appreciated after they are no longer here. Thanks, Kalpana, for caring.
DeleteI didn't know Jeremy. Your words here bring him to life for me and remind me how important it is to cherish each day with those we care for.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth, for that. :-)
DeleteWonderful tribute to a great guy.
ReplyDeleteYes, he was, wasn't he?
DeleteI wish I'd had the honor of knowing Jeremy. He sounds like an amazing guy!
ReplyDeleteHe really was. :-)
DeleteJeremy was a wonderful soul. This is a fitting tribute. Hugs, Ronald--this has been a sad time.
