My favorite author (along with Hemingway) died today. RIP Ray Bradbury. He was truly a legend. The world lost someone amazing today. For those that know me well, they’ve seen his quote on my Facebook for the past 4 or 5 years. It changed my life. I mean changed it. I followed it. I’m a living breathing part of the legacy he leaves behind. I’m genuinely saddened by this loss. I take some solace in the fact that his work, wisdom, and character are forever immortalized in his incredible writings and musings.

For those who haven’t read it:

“If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

- Ray Bradbury

“Looking back over a lifetime, you see love was the answer to everything.”
- Ray Bradbury.

With the rain pouring down and the speakers turned up, its a mid-day epiphany. To quote one of the most prolific songwriters of my generation “and the four right chords could make me cry” - Stephan Jenkins / Third Eye Blind.
