In 2000, I felt badly about not being able to attend but major financial considerations and the White Sox in first place in Chicago had me going west to Chicago to stay free with friends and go to the games, a much cheaper option. This year I never gave the prospect of going to JoniFest a second thought, I wasn't going. Before you react in horror, please know that I have been a Christian long enough to believe in the zen of everything and I just knew beyond doubt that I was not to go to Topsfield this year, I just had to await the reason. Richard Simpson suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had been cast away by his family and came to Greenville in 1994, homeless and all dis-associated from life. My type of person! Richard was the reason that we really got our ministry here directed towards people in adult foster care, and Richard was my mainstay, my charter member, my saint of the church. Needed to check in with Richard almost daily for a variety of reasons including making sure that his medication was allowing him to stay in balance with the real world as he wanted to be since his dis-connect moments were very frightening and violently threatening to him. Richard, despite that, was the sweetest, gentlest, kindest person that I have ever known and became my daily friend, my everyday church member, the saint of our mission. He was such a good person and 3 1/2 months ago was diagnosed with leukemia that would kill him in 4 months but suffice to say it took only 3 1/2 months. Since the zen told me that I wasn't going East but staying in the area, it turned out the reason was to be with Richard when he died and to do his funeral and to deal with the other residents of his AFC home who are of course mourning him and all of Richard's relatives who showed up for the funeral (but were never there for his life) and all the issues that raised, including issues for the community in Greenville ("what the hell are they showing up for now?" was said more a few times). For the family, we knew the Richard that they never knew (and that was true conversely) and just very simply, it was a time of much emotion. But I needed to be here it seemed, Richard died Friday morning when I would have been leaving and we buried him today when I would have been returning so the zen had it right of course all along, this was not to be the year to go to Topsfield. And yes, in between the moments that I was here with Richard and all that went with that, I was in Chicago also, needed to connect with my sister who is in an adult foster care home and it was very important to me for me to be with her and not to be like Richard's family, one of those who was never there. And I got a few ball games in too with some good friends and I needed those moments. I debated posting this - self indulgent on my part, a downer in the midst of your high? - but I hadn't been able to explain my blasi "I'm not going" because the zen hadn't unfolded that reason, which i know have. Richard and I had spoken 8 days before his death - he knew it was a matter of a very few days, his body was worn out. I had been living with the knowledge that every time that I saw Richard may well be the last time that I would see him and we were talking days, not months, not years. The antepenultimate time that I saw Richard was Thursday last, and he was at the office, and in the gentle way he always said, "Pastor, can I talk with you?" he told me that I was to always pray for the people with cancer, with AIDS, with leukemia, with emphysema, and with asthma, and with everyone who was sick because he knew how difficult it was for these people. Then he told me that what he had learned was that it was important to always pray for others and not for your self, because when we always pray for our self, we forget that others are in such need. He remarked that it was a beautiful day and what could he do to make it better? And he asked me, what can I do for someone else today? That all was said less than 24 hours before his death. He left the office, visited the people downtown that he usually saw, went home, drove another resident around the lake because that second resident is not otherwise able to get to see the lake, and then he got the 24-hour flu and he had nothing left to fight it with, as weak as he was from fighting the leukemia. He went into the hospital. The penultimate time that I saw Richard was Friday morning as he lay dying in the hospital, unconscious, in pain, and we did our singing and praying and the commendation service and Richard relaxed and fell asleep and died peacefully without pain. The last time that I saw Richard was this morning, and of course his cold and embalmed body was but a pale reflection of the friend that I knew, but his family was finally there, his friends were all there, and we were celebrating that the good things that he thought us about how to live and the good place where he wa now, with God, however that "with God-ness" is defined, and I ws able to bury my friend and the last thing that I could for him on this earth - other than spend hours afterwards with the family who had never been there and were now feeling a grief that they never given him another chance, a guilt that I suspect they will never resolve. Pastor as I am, I tried to stress to them in those hours that the past is just a good bye (where did I get that line, CSN&Y fans!!! ), that they needed to live in grace, in forgiveness, and remember Richard's question - what can I do for someone today - and go forward with that question in their lives, and act on it, rather than remain in a place of guilt and pain and regrets. The journey home is a long one. For those who were in Topsfield, I am thankful that there was safe journey for all and that the community was - - as we knew it would be - good, great, fantastic, and that it would bind people together in this community of love. I thought about you all all weekend and rejoiced for you that you could be together and share in the gifts that you have. You did it for yourselves as well as for those of us not there, writing another chapter in life in our JMDL community. I love you all. For me, the journey home back to having to deal with work and and the life that we shall have without Richard stopping in the office daily with his good cheer, with his questions, with his urging me to do various things for people in need, for what worship and our ministry community life without his physical presence - that will be a long journey. You are the people with whom I can share things for which I have no other community for sharing things of this nature. You are like my "community of real-world people" that I need. I needed to speak with you and explain my absence that the zen long ago had told me would keep me in this area now that the explanation had been revealed, and to say the things that I have no one here to say them to so that I can now cry myself and return to my daily life tomorrow. Thank you as always for your friendship and your indulging me. (the Rev) Vince ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2001 23:14:08 -0400 From: Kay Ashley Subject: JoniFest musings... LONG Hey all you People! I am SO GLAD I finally came to a JoniFest. Ashara, you are a GODDESS. Lord knows how you put up with all us freaks... Thank you PATRICK for finally convincing me with cigarette burns and other assorted emotional blackmail that I should really go... you were right, I had a great time!! BTW, Patrick, on the ride home Alison and Jeff and Rose and I were marveling at how you keep your pulse on as many aspects of popular culture as possible (I had made a comment on how it was so great that there was no TV, and I was corrected -- you had to keep up with the tennis!), and then I mused that there really should be a Patrick Leader Action Figure collection... Hang Out Patrick. Dancer Patrick. Critic Patrick. Pool Shark Patrick. TV Patrick. Bar Stool Patrick. I'm open to further suggestions... I too will have a go at summarizing some high points... "We smoked real good... FOR FREE" is definitely a highlight, along with "THE GANJA LINE/THE GANJA LINE/THE GANJA LINE" (Bob, insert elephant call here). I laughed harder than I have laughed in ages... "Guesses based on what each stash of time and ganja's touching..." Steve Polifka, you are INSANE! I love it!!!! (and I haven't forgotten about the oils, either, baby...) Hey, next year let's sing Carey: "Carey get out your stash/and I'll get out some papers/come on down to the Mermaid Cafe/and we'll get high tonight... MON." OK, OK, OK, I'll stop... Weather: FANTASTIC. COuldn't have asked for better... Anne Sandstrom and Bob Mueller, thank you so much for the music organization and the emceeing, respectively; Bob, if you're too sick of it next year, I hereby nominate Jimmy to be Emcee -- but liquor him up first! Was so psyched to meet the legendary Paz (and that's PAHZ, not PAZZ), loved your music, loved trying out the VG8, loved your entrepreneurial spirit, what with arranging for so much great music; loved the shrimp! One day I'll show up on your doorstep and you'll wonder what the cat dragged in... Claudia, it was such a joy to sing with you, your renditions of Joni and Sandy and others -- all great -- but your original songs are GREAT and you must come to NYC... John, thanks for the tips, the support, and of course, THE CHOCOLATE... Alison, DON'T GO!! You too will wonder someday soon what the hell the cat dragged in... Utah yeehaw... you sang Townes so beautifully, DON'T STOP... Yael and Lamadoo, great to meet you, thanks so much for sharing your room with me... Yael, you sounded great, keep it up!! Rose it was so nice to spend more time with you and thanks a million for the driving... it's a good thing this weekend is over, actually, because a few more days, and I would most definitely have crossed the divide from "social smoker" to SMOKER. Now, Rose, why would you remind me of cigarettes?... ;-) ... Gregg Cagno, what a true pleasure to hear you play -- you're goin' places, baby! Oh, and you know that every woman there -- yes, ALL of them -- wants to marry you, right? Just keep 'em guessing and you'll expand your fan base exponentially... I want to pick your brain about the electronics in your guitar, but I'll email you separately about that (and about other sweet nothings... heh heh heh... and you thought Alison was the only hussy in the bunch...{oh, and Stephen Epstein, if Alison won't put out, I will!} ) ... Kate and Jeff, wonderful to hear you, I love the combo of the California sound and the country-rock sound you have going... Jeff Clark, great playing, I admire your Joni tuning scholarship, let's get together soon... VICTOR!! All right, next year, there WILL be a fully orchestrated, operatic rendition of "War Pigs." I swear to you that I will learn the lyrics between now and then. It was great to hang out with you. I am awed by your energy, your musical adventurousness and your sense of the absurd... Chris Marshall, turn that damned video cam off!! Your bass playing was great, I loved the addition of the Jaco thread to the music that everyone wove... we'll have to attempt Coyote next year... this is getting REALLY LONG and I haven't even made it through half the things I wanted to say... so I'll say that this is Part One. Part Two to follow... So glad I joined you all this year.... :-) Kay Ashley ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 00:01:43 -0400 From: "jlamadoo, home account" Subject: RE: Colvin/Babies/Gay? So....
