on people passing away, and passing time with extraordinary people

First, thanks to everyone who weighed in (privately and via comments) on the advice vs. help tangle I was mulling over in my last post. Much food for thought.

Today, my mind's dwelling on some of the people I grew up with, and some of the people I spend time with now. In a nutshell: I am spooked by the things I didn't know, and dazzled by how much there is to learn.
