He makes me smile to Wannabe. He makes me smile too.
I am so glad to see him come back looking so good and strong and healthy and alive. It speaks to persistance and strength of character and says that even with all that is wrong with the world if you try one more time you can maybe make things come out okay.
I want him to be okay and make awesome music again, to gladden some hearts. When I read about him or think about him sometimes I want to give him a hug. He just sounds so very nice. And then, I don't want to put him on a pedistal either because I want him to have room to move. He is obviously very intellegent and has a great depth of experience so I would be a fool to not want to have a chance to talk to him seriously but since I understand how much the world hungers for his talent and how busy he is, I would probably decline if someone offered to introduce me to him.
And I am not too old to keep coming back to look at the picture of him I just installed as my screensaver Ja. Maybe when I am 100? Is that when it happens? Oh wait, you aren't 100 yet either.
Yes. Giddy is good. I am giddy about life in general and hope I never stop.[/b]
Totally ec. I understand what you're saying completely. He IS nice, genuinely so, it comes through so clearly, it's IN him, that's probably the first thing I really picked up on about Michael, how
nice he is, he's sweet to people, even when they aren't so much to him, and there aren't many people like that in this world. It's easy to feel for him, because he's had a
hard life, he's been through so much, a lot of hurt, and suffered more then what most people ever will on a personal level. But despite all that, he's never turned bitter or away from others, he still offers his hand to them. That's truly a great man there. I would love to speak with Michael of course, he's a highly intelligent person, and his insight is what continues to really amaze me. His depth of perception. One of the things that truly draws people to Michael is, despite his iconic status, he is
innately human, he cuts, he bleeds, he is
impacted by what's done to him and to what is done to others. His
awareness of things outside him, his sensitivity to other people and life, is exceptional. His ability to
feel. That's what makes him such a genius as an artist, how he reaches and expresses the core of emotions in his work, he cuts away the layers and touches the essence. His ability to see passed the surface of a thing or situation, passed the conditioning of society and see it as it really is, at it's heart. That's his brilliance.
And yeah Ja, I feel you on that too.
