Since he has passed has anyone been living life more aware? More in the now? More aware of how your actions cause reactions at everying moment you are alive? any walls gone? barriers dissolved? any Ah Ha's! that just came to you?

maybe Yauch built up so much good karma, when he went back, all that goodness and energy stayed here in the universe and had to be reabsorbed and used. IDK.


after years of stuggling on this path for clarity in my head and peace in my heart, trying everything i could think of to be more aware and remember to be here in the now. and failing miserably lol...well, since Yauch's passing on into the light, back to his essence, I've had this ever present remidner on all the time that seems to have nonchalantly appeared, but subtle like, so subtle i don't even know it is there most of the time. It just IS.



it just occurred to me, i wonder how come. how come now, all of the sudden, after year and years of stuggling trying to bust my way out of these rusty ass chains I got myself all twisted and tangled up in over the last 34, all the useless heavy junk I been draggin around, how come now I've broken through, at least to the next step? Why now is that baggage gone? That wall has crumbled, that obstacle that has been stymying me for a decade or more, a frustrating blockage I couldnt get though, was gone.

Perhaps it was a slow chipping away one day at a time. well, the Boys helped us all through that, Yauch in particular for me. Even if we didn't realize it at the moment, looking back, things would had been a lot tougher if not for THAT RECORD, or THAT SONG, or VERSE. That, my friends, is a GUIDING LIGHT

so to think just beause physically speaking, Yauch's body not being alive here on earth anymore, in NO WAY could stop the power of that helping hand that has been there for me (us) for decades. HA! To think a physical death could stop that sort of love and power is and light is ABSURD to think. There is no stopping it, that is WHAT IT IS. That is What it is all about.


So there seems to be in my life now this little light shining always reminding me to stay on that righteous path. And when I stray from that path (like we all do) I remember really qucik OH YEAH, I don't want to go there. And in that darkness, this light tells me "Yo over here dumbass, remember, down that way is just bullshit and heartache and some baaaad shit. Don't go there, go this way.

Thank you again Mike D, Ad Rock and the late great Adam MCA Yauch. i'll be thanking you next year, and the year after, and the year after. I will be thankful for you when i am 95 years old. Thanks yo.

Thanks for allowing me to share my gratitude

Well said(y)
I feel it, too. More peace. More empowerment. I can't recall where I read this, but something like "you do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." His soul is untouchable by cancer and it lives on everywhere it has touched. Cheers.

I totally feel you. Rusty ass chains, useless junk, and a sudden clarity about it all. I feel like Yauch is my teacher now. My friends and family think I'm loco, but at least they appreciate the "nicer" and "more centered" me, no matter how it happened. Thanks for sharing, Gordie.

@gordonjr

Adams death definitely triggered something in me. I'm not quite sure what or why. Definitely made me step back a bit and question myself. I've definitely become more aware of how the things I do in my life affect others. Definitely made me a little kinder and a little more understanding.

Same here his death really hit me so hard and now it's like I think about him everyday. He is always on my mind it's like he took over me. MCA will always be a special part of me. He did change my life and touched my heart in so many ways.

We know! We have heard you over and over and over now just shut the fuck up and go away!!!

Ok I'm sorry

I apologize for my unkind remarks. Right after I said I was going to be kinder- I didn't say I perfected it yet but I'm trying :)

Just ease up a bit. We know you miss Adam. We all do.
