“I HAD MET DYLAN WHEN HE WAS RIGHT IN THE THICK OF WHAT DANTE ALIGHIERI SO BEAUTIFULLY NAMES THE “DIVINE COMEDY”:
“IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JOURNEY OF OUR LIFE I CAME TO MYSELF WITHIN A DARK WOOD WHERE THE STRAIGHT WAY WAS LOST. AH, HOW HARD A THING IT IS TO TELL WHAT A WILD, AND ROUGH, AND STUBBORN WOOD THIS WAS, WHICH IN MY THOUGHT RENEWS THE FEAR!”
AND I WAS THERE, AS HE FACED THE UNKNOWN, AND THE DEMONS OF DOUBT AND FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY AND ALL OF IT IN THE MIDST OF A BIGGER GLOBAL CRISIS, WHERE THE LINES OF WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG GOT BLURRED AND MUDDLED; I WAS THERE WITH HIM, BEARING WITNESS TO HIS PROCESS AND IN MY LIMITED CAPACITY, CREATING A CONTAINER AND HOLDING SPACE FOR HIS PROCESS.
AND HE DOVE IN DEEP, AND SO BEAUTIFULLY, NOT LETTING THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST HOLD HIM BACK FROM FOLLOWING WHAT HIS VERY SOUL WAS ASKING OF HIM.
AND HE DID IT!!!! HE TRAVERSED THE LONGEST JOURNEY OF HIS HUMANNESS, THE ONE FROM THE HEAD TO THE HEART. YES. HE ACTUALLY DID CHOP HIS THINKING HEAD OFF AND TOOK A LEAP INTO THE VASTNESS OF HIS HEART. AND THAT’S HOW I PERCEIVE MY DEAR JOURNEYING FRIEND AND HEART BROTHER’S LIFE’S JOURNEY.
FOR ME, DYLAN EMBODIES SOMETHING THAT IS SO VERY PRECIOUS, WALKING THE PATH OF AWAKENING TO HIS LIMITLESS POTENTIAL, WHILE REMAINING HUMBLE AND OPEN MINDED TO THE REALM OF THE INVISIBLE POSSIBILITIES, SHARING HIS HEART AND INSIGHTS GENEROUSLY WITH EVERYONE WHO ASKS AND WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE THE DIVE INTO THE UNKNOWN.
WHAT MOVES ME DEEPLY IS HIS INTEGRITY AND HIS DEEP WISH TO HELP AND BENEFIT OTHERS. THAT IS, IN MY PERCEPTION, HIS TRUE MOTIVATION IN ALL OF HIS ENDEAVOURS.”
