    This may seem like my first post, but I used to post as Mastodon. I've been away, but I remember Eric...

    Today I shed more than one tear for somebody I never met in real life. And damn the Watchtower for that.

    Life is worth so much more than words. In the grand scheme things, Oompa's legacy will be that, though he was in pain, he acted, and chose not to be a fraud. He left clues here and elsewhere. He was able to help his children, whom I hope will allow their father to live through them just a little.

    Oompa reminded me in some ways of my brother, men who were vulnerable because they cared so much. Hurt by a cult they didn't choose to be born into. And ultimately, left us at a time of their own choosing.

    R.I.P.

    The first thing I thought of when I opened up my eyes was OOMPA. I wish things were very different.

    We are all dancing
    on the edge of a precipice,
    a dizzying cliff so high
    we can't see the bottom. "
