BECKONING

I have died and returned multiple times during my lifetime. 

In 2022, during the Pandemic, at the precipice of urgent open-heart surgery, I was presented with a Gift: 

"Live Or Die, Your Choice." 

My weary clan of dreams and memories emerged hopeful from deep within me, inspiring me to Live.

"Live." 

We were then joined by others from the elsewhere to violently repel the assumed exit expectation.

One day, it will be my time to leave. 

I want to take time now to scribe samples from myself into an obituary reflective of my soul.

Instead of paying thousands for a typically brief, very-short-lived, AI-controlled, not-me obituary posted then left drowning in a roiling ocean of hordes of flickering ads and obits for other way-more-publicly-famous humans, . . . . 

. . . . I am spending thousands in hours of effort and hundreds for access to tools, hosting, and posting at GoDaddy.

I am here, me, my learning, my style, my artistry, my soul, now.

I am delightfully proving to myself that I can still learn, tinker, make, study, try, try a lot, try even more, produce, and then savor my resulting creations.
