Maybe it's "not a country for old men" anymore but you two will always be younger than the sun. Thank you Matt for the years - your brilliance; your generosity of heart. For Matt: Into The Mystic - by Doug Lloyd An ocean cradles my slender craft Not as a mother her own But life cradling the journey. The Mystery, the Profoundness of All Transcendence found in undulations Rising, falling.floating through. Ere, my bonnie boat glides Fleeting spindrift. Wind-thrown away And the moments? Accounted for! So few really knew It rocked the gypsy soul Born before wind and waves. Hull. Water. Apart and one. Free of encumberances Magnificently. Visionary. A Legacy of friends. Into the Mystic all must go. The Mariner. There is no fear.
