The choice of the Allegri Miserere was perfect! It is not only hauntingly beautiful, but for me is heartbreakingly nostalgic of my youth. I know that Seo,is touched to the very core with this tribute and is smiling on all of us as we remember the wonderful human being that he was!

What a fitting name "Through the Edge of Darkness". Joe's untimely death must indeed have seen you and your family on the edge of darkness at the loss of such a wonderful man. Joe was and still is a wonderful friend to so many people. He touched the lives of so many in different ways and he continues to do so after his death. He is proud of you I've no doubt Tom and is probably smiling at this wonderful tribute you have posted to him. I love the video and the music is soul searching and calming and wonderful. I have clicked on replay a few times while reading your post. Its very appropriate. I could write forever here but I better finish now. I love the photo of you both. He always kept his smile. Thank you for sharing this with us Tom.

Represents quiet, simplicity of Japanese Haiku poems and Zen Buddhism ( Appreciate your beautifully written words above), reason to wake up in the morning share tea ceremony with it, my ritual wabi-sabi journey through "World like dewdrop" and ofcourse company of Chabana's simple balance and happiness.

The Way of Zen ...You offer much to reflect on Tom. The Way of Zen with its emphasis on detachment and transcendence finds parallels in western spirituality e.g. in the writings of Meister Eckhart. Indeed this 13th century theologian and mystic has sometimes been claimed as one of their own by Buddhist writers. To live with an openness to being was also for example,one of Heidegger's main tenets. He wrote that there are two kinds of thinking. a. Calculative Thinking and b. Meditative Thinking it is the latter that is open to being. I find the lack of emphasis on Love in buddhism to be difficult to accept. "Compassion" comes near to it, but it doesnt have the fulness of mutuality - giving and receiving which western disciplines and spiritualities emphasise. That is why I find a certain coldness in the singularity and solitary nature of buddhist teachings and way of Life. Your visual captures for me, a degree of this isolation and ultra-independence of the spirit of Zen. I hope the dew-drop grows into a fount of life, of love and happiness. Thank you for sharing your talent and work with us.
