A farewell to MJ

July 7, 2009

Ive returned from celebrating with many of you, the life of a man who in our time became a Legend on the same scale of Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, The Pope, Mother Theresa, John Lennon, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ghandi. I captured this moment in imagery and words, and just took what I saw, because at the end of it all, it was more then a man whom crossed generational lines, from mothers to daughter, to grandfathers and grandsons.
But a man who we often forget, was a father and a brother and a son. But because his purpose was to be of greatness, and from the beginning to end, we invaded that space that place the made him human. One man on the radio said, “I never thought he would die.”
No man no matter how great, no matter how many lives he/ she touches we are not immortal, we can all be assured that we will all leave this earth, after our purpose has been served.
They continued to mention Mr. Jackson loved his family, loved his friends, loved his fans, but what I want for us to all do is include ourselves, when Im gone I want it to be known that I loved all those around me and I loved myself.
MJ wasn’t the only person to leave us this year, that month or that day for that matter. Many celebrities and other well know personalities passed, as well as out family and friends. So we all need to beware, and take into account our days are numbered from the moment we are born, and we never know when our last breath will be, its in all our best interest to come correct, with our god, our creator, or maker, for whom ever we believe
