Nearly 30 years later, with only one of his courses under my belt, and a whole history of my life filling in the time later, I remember...the times in his apartment, the books, the art, his enthusiasm. I hope to find all the Eds in my life, and encourage them. Without them, I don't want to be here. Ed was a great guy.

Riding the universal rail of eternity! Who says death is the final stage but the ignorant and fearful. There are so many openings, so many ways to still commune with all that is or will be. In conversations with Jane van Meter and others I learn to see life as more than corporeality and open up to see all existence as illusion, but to embrace this earthly dance, anyway, and just "be". Many of us travel our daily path bored out of our skulls as the saying goes and yet almost diliberately seek our own daily dose of psyche pain. Jane, as a friend and mentor, offered me another way to see and experience the incredible present moment, full of potential and wonder and opened me up to the writings of Pater Enomiya-Lassalle, the music and power of Heribert Ritter von Karajan who really deserved to have "raja" as part of the middle of his name. So many tables and never empty of life's potential. Thanks, Jane, and thanks Ed Grier, and and Terry Moore, and Bill (WD) Paden, Yale man to the end, and thanks Katy Hinman, Myra, and all the cats. And, "thank you Jesus", "thank you Jesus", and the wild and craziness of the short-living planet. Tone Mendoza Ya hoo! Riding the universal rail of eternity!
