Memories of Michael;
“The gift that Michael Jackson gave to us is, in many ways, a religious one, for religion functions to bind us to one another and God.
As we give gratitude for this life and what it represented, let us remember that a lovely man with deep emotional sensitivity made a spirit-filled effort in the realm of American popular song and dance. This transcendent figure—in his own way—wound up attempting to change the world; he brought a song of love and helped us find greater joy. He helped bind us more closely to ourselves, to one another and to that which is greater than us all. He transcended this planet after a half century.
Until today, I have never known a world without Michael Joseph Jackson physically alive in it; and right now it feels like a lesser place without him”
