Message from Merlin left in poetry section:
QUOTE I have received word via Facebook of Steve's passing, in case you hadn't heard.
Merlin -------------------------- Beyond by: Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) It seemeth such a little way to me Across to that strange country -- the Beyond; And yet, not strange, for it has grown to be The home of those of whom I am so fond, They make it seem familiar and most dear, As journeying friends bring distant regions near. (a fragment) ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Wow, Merlin....
In not being involved here for some time, I kind of got out of touch with Steve, only recalling his wife's struggles with cancer several years ago. I'd noticed that he had not been active here for some time of late, but I hadn't been involved in any of the social interaction here that used to take place some years ago, so I really know nothing of what has been going on in his life. I feel very empty in not having been there for support in whatever struggles he'd been going through. It pricks my heart deeply... and reminds me of how important it is for us to be sharing with each other. I think of Steve's own words in his bio on this site: Courage is knowing your fear, and continuing on in spite of it. I suspect that Steve lived by that mot. I shall miss him. If you know any other details and if there is to be some memorial or persons to contact in their bereavement, please let us know, Merlin. in Light of grace, Daniel
