Challenge
We lost a lot with the passing of Chris Cornell. To many, he was a mentor, a brilliant writer; an inimitable voice. Until June 30th, this challenge is for the friends and fans to write their stories, poems, tributes: anything about him. We will be putting together a book for the Cornell family, of the posts entered, as well as making copies available for purchase, donating all proceeds to suicide prevention. In partnership with Seattle Refined, the most shared post will be read on air, and posted on seattlerefined.com.
Dance with Mortality
I loved the intensity of your music…the soaring heights of your voice. I was mesmerized by your mischievous smile…that halo of hair…your eyes…your swagger. Maybe I didn’t realize how much I cared until I heard about your death. The news hit like a punch in the gut and I’m reeling with disbelief at the depth of my sadness. Maybe in some ways, this grief I feel is a cathartic release for all the angst, pain, emotion and relief tied to my own dance with mortality. Maybe when I see you again, I will tell you that I understood. Maybe then, we will both be at peace.
