Goodbye Anna Nicole...

I can't believe she's gone. She was larger than life. I remember I impersonated her one year for Halloween when I worked for BCM. On my way in from the parking lot to the office, I nearly caused a Metro bus to wreck. I had on a micro-mini skirt, a low-cut blouse, high heels, silver hose and a long, blonde wig.
Then came Anna's "troubles". The legal battles. The loss of her son. The birth of a daughter. The paternity suit. The fight over her residence. The TrimSpa lawsuit. And the final straw -- questions whether her current lover was involved in her son's death. I guess it was just all too much.
Goodbye Anna Nicole.
'For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one,
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your slient knowledge of the beyond, And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.'
...from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.
