Mal

[Alexander Draconis]

I only met Mal in the most passing of ways, reading a few posts he made. I always found them a fine read. When I finally came back a few days ago, I learned we had lost both he and Bear. I felt badly that I had not taken the time to engage him and get to know him.

So I spent the last 2 hours reading each post here. I feel I've lost a genuine opportunity to know someone special. And yet, at the same time, I feel inspired to live a more full life, and to be somewhat like this brilliant personality we have all gathered around. I know him now through what you all have shared. Thank you.

-Alexander plants a silver and gold sword under an apple tree. From this spot, a briar of silver vines springs, curling and weaving together. On them, silver leaves with light gold veins sprout, and small golden fruits bud all over. The vines crawl about the ground, and encircle the tree. Slowly they creep just a few feet up the trunk, and the apples there turn a soft, glowing gold.-

This image is how I choose to convey my feeling, and offer memorial.

Be well, cherished elder. Mal. Doug. Friend.

(I will be taking time to read through the thread for Bear as well, once I have the energy.)
