Robin Williams ... there are a lot of posts for him today. Through them, we see those who will miss him, and those who contemplate what had happened. Occasionally, there are those who comment to say words that are not very kind of him due to how he passed. And there are ones who say we should honor all lives ... not just ones who are of fame. And it is all reflection, really. The sorting, the feeling, the thinking. Did he personally know these people ... did they personally know him? Maybe not. But he had an impact upon many. I thought of him before I went to sleep, and I wondered who he was/is deep inside. Yes, he was an actor, and that is what most remember about him. But a part of him always had shown through each and every moment of his acting life. I could see the sadness, reservation, resignation, anger, hope, love, and even moments of good feeling. I suppose it all depends upon how deeply one person can see into another, really. And I saw a man that survived 63 years of his own struggle, and yet left his own mark - a good one - along the way. We do not need to know those of whom we have had an impact of life with. He had made a powerful impact on many with his passing ... and may this impact lead to something each of us can become aware of within ourselves. Thus, we can have compassion for a life that has passed into another journey, and I am glad for that. May he be in peace on his new journey. - Celine LeAndrea-Alerys
