Bill Harmon 1959-2007

I remember clicking on Ocean's blog and checking out who Mr. Bill Harmon was and thinking to myself;'Oh, okay, I think I've seen him or spoke to him once or twice before'. Being bad at remembering exact names his face and demeanor stood out to me as one who had the time and kindness to stop and chat and say hello. He will be greatly missed. I find out later he attended Long Island College Hospital; the same place I go to for HIV treatment and to see my Doctor, here in Brooklyn, New York. I also see he was 48 and I am 46 and that him and I, though not seriously knowing each other are connected and how
he and I are or could be one in the same.

No time.

And can I blame it on Life being the thief of time, a job, or a schedule I adhere to when I should be doing more of the life giving things like getting to know a Bill or even a next door neighbor. I am that guilty. For no apology can erase the fact.

I won't forget him or his picture or the way I came to somewhat know him for a long long time. May his passing be the constant reminder of the inner work long overdue that I must see has to be done.

Rest In Peace Bill Harmon.
