1. Notes: 5 / 4 months ago 

   So many folks I know struggle.  They push forward with labored breath.  There’s a strange sufferer’s unity at the moment; undeserving, good people faced with great opposition, in greater numbers than I remember at any other time in my life.

   My three closest friends, in particular - all three of them! - struggle deeply right now. They wage very different campaigns, but each one of them faces rare, spirit-altering challenges that make the simple act of living a daily brawl.

   My heart goes out to all of them.  I pay close attention to each of them and apply the lessons they learn to my own life.  I am a better person - a much better person - because of all three of these individuals.  I will do what I can to help them.

   This song is “Walk Like a Panther” by All Seeing I, featuring Jarvis Cocker.  The performance is from the UK show Top of the Pops in 1999.  I’ve always had a soft spot for this weird little number, because of the growl and tenacity.  It’s about a guy who’s down and out, whose wife left him, whose currency has dropped substantially… but a guy who remains, despite his very real troubles, a force to be reckoned with.

   So to my friends -

   To all three of you -

   You are forces to be reckoned with.

   Walk like a panther!

   All my love.
