I WAS ASKED TO WRITE A FRIEND'S OBITUARY

 

It was quite the challenge since I knew he would be reading it before going into major surgery.

I may let you visitors read it if I can get his permission ... he survived with flying colors ... black and blue.

I write of this since when I tried to comment on C. Lee McKenzie's substack page today, I had to go through a dizzying gauntlet of questions ...

I was asked to give a short bio of myself ... 250 words or less ...

My first was rejected ... too long, so rather than let it go to waste, here it is ...


One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.”

- Albert Einstein

Most writers are curious by nature. We look at the world around us and wonder at it.

Who are these people? What are we all doing here? Where are we heading? Why do we do the things we do? How will we achieve our goals? 

Who am I? I am what I do.  I write of hearts in conflict with themselves in a world we little understand.

Who am I? I am a seeker.

WHAT WOULD YOU WRITE AS A SHORT BIO?

  1. I'm glad your friend survived and can save the obituary for a later time. If I had to go through so much work for a substack, I'd pass. It's enough to have to do Google checks on some blogs. Just not worth the trouble.

    1. You're right, Karen -- doing so much hoop jumping is NO fun! My friend spent 3 hours yesterday afternoon fishing -- and caught bass and back pain! :-) My cat, Midnight, would have liked to have gone along!

  2. Glad your friend pulled through the surgery. Quite a challenge to write an obituary and probably none too fun. Again, glad it wasn't a necessity. I have had to write and give eulogies. Important, but never, something to look forward to (understatement).
