OK as i was saying b4 i so rudely interrupted meself...
last night i watched the last part of this 50th anniversary of the Grammys & they showed Christine Aguilera doing James Brown's hit 'It's a man's world (But he wouldn't be nothing without a woman)' & she actually did quite a good job. So this evening i'm moving all this stuff out to storage & discover the box of old issues of the Lost Angeles Free Press that my sister gave me a few years ago (which were probably actually mine back in the day because i subscribed & don't remember that she did...) and i'm going thru them & see an ad for the Grateful Dead playing the Santa Monica Civic in '70. Then i'm paying attention to the time because i want to do the Dharma practice with the focus on her at eight p.m. & just about that time in a box of my dad's stuff i find her kindergarten class picture from '58... Wotta Trip! So that goes on the shrine down below my Buddhist teachers & her other photos i have up there & proceed to light the lamp & incense followed by the meditation. Then at 9pm i remember that the Dead show is on KKCR.org from Kauai, and that's a perfect completion for my sister's soul meditation as she loved the Dead too, so I get it on the Internet & the DJ Jackie Row is telling some listener that she found the song he wanted & proceeds to play the Dead performing "It's a Man's World" with Pigpen on vocals, from Binghamton, NY on May 2, 1970(!) (i found out from the Internet search), possibly the only time they performed it from what i could tell... Well, after time-travelling back to that time period a couple hours before from going thru and straightening up a whole mess of old Freeps, i once again had my mind blown in the Dead-Dharma connected realm...
And once again i'm Dancin' with the Dead (pun intended)! -=0=-
Muchas Garcias por el Amor!

your posting illustrates beautifully that the essence of your sister (and the dead...and the living) are indistinguishable and ever present in you, your essence (soul, anima??) ...i'm happy to have unknowingly coaxed this out of you. you're a good brother, to your sister , and to me...
