Albert Hofmann
Yesterday when I first heard the news that Albert Hofmann died, and the subsequent back and forth speculation as to whether or not the report was true, as with any stranger I merely thought to myself: "Well that sucks."
Today as the confirming reports come in I'm starting to realize how much this is actually weighing on me. My heart feels heavy and I'm really feeling a sense of loss... I really would have loved to meet the man. Have a discussion with him, share with him my thoughts, ideas, and opinions... even if I might have felt a little out of league. The more I think about it, the more I realize what a profound impact the man really had on the world we live in today. A perfect butterfly effect.
I cant explain exactly how I feel. I feel a sense of loss... I feel a sense of regret that I never had a chance to shake the man's hand... Most of all, I feel an overwhelming sense of love, for both him and everyone that has been and will be affected by him, his life, and his passing.
