Oh, and it's a hollow feeling/ when it comes down to dealing, friends/ it never ends
Cole was telling me this afternoon that one of Buffy's friends, Cordy Chase, died yesterday. I feel very sad about this, even though I don't believe I ever met her. It feels like all of us who walk the path of magick and the supernatural, though...we have a bond. Cordy was a freedom fighter, like me, in a sense. I guess she wasn't always this way, but hell, neither was I. Neither of us necessarily saw the path we're on now, when we were younger. Her loss will be felt through the entire community of those who fight to protect the innocents. The mundane world lost one of the courageous women who fought to make it possible for most of the world to live in ignorant bliss of the horrors we who work for peace and for good to conquer evil see every day.
Isn't it strange that I feel so sad about someone I didn't know from Steve. Well, as she was female, I probably would be able to tell her from Steve, but you know. Yeah. Anyway. I guess she received visions of the future. Like me. And she was younger than I am... It's not fair. I know about mystical and human loss as much as the next person, but I've never had to give my life to fight the good fight...
It's just a very strange feeling waking up in a world where the very small number of people who are like you in some way has grown even smaller. It's too bad I didn't know she had the gift of foresight ( I really don't know where she got it from- I actually don't know very much about her at all) if I had known before she was in the coma, maybe I could have talked to her about it. Knowledge of the future is a dangerous thing- it separates you in some small way from people who only know life in a linear timeline. She and I probably could have had quite a conversation. I don't know what to say, but it feels like just a tiny bit of the same type of supernatural power I know has left the world, now. I'm so sorry for all whose loss occurred on a personal level...I can't even imagine. Well...actually, I can. I know what it's like to lose love. Because I can imagine it from my own life, you have even more of my condolences- expressed here in the way of my people:
There is a reason for being here
In this world and this life.
There is a reason for leaving,
When the purposes of this life are done.
The soul must journey beyond
To pause, to rest,
To wait for those who are loved.
For the world beyond is a land
Of eternal summer, and of joy,
Far from the cares of this world,
With happiness and with youth anew.
