An endangered species…the genuine one

My friend was unassuming. My friend never called attention to himself. He didn’t have to. His mind, spirit, intellect and capacity to cut through the nonsense and arrive at the core of any issue was so clear and pure that simply being in the moment resulted in his command of any situation.
I loved to simply be in his universe. I felt better knowing that such a person existed and shared his light wih me. A true endangered species…genuine. Authentic. Humble. Wise. Compassion for the underdog and willing to step forward to say and do what needed to be said and done.
Cherish a friend like that. Just sit back and enjoy the treasure.
He is now part of the fabric of history. We are better because he was here. I am grateful to have had my bit of time wih him. Mentor. Teacher. Partner. Friend. Confidante. What more can anyone ask for. A blessing. Rest in peace my dear friend.
