I did not really think about people's reaction when I decided to share what happened to me in Mumbai. So I was surprised and moved to read the following comment left by Leith Burke, a regular reader of LBDB:
hey man. i don't know you, but i do check your blog regularly. first i would like to thank you for providing me (and the bar i work at) with some great music. more importantly i would like to let you know that your experience in india has served to bring the impact of these attacks to my fingertips. as i said, i don't know you, but we have shared something through these machines, and like it or not they are a part of us now. like a prosthetic: man made, but integrated to the body. metaphors aside, i feel as if a friend has been attacked by senseless violence and hatred, and that makes me want to do something about it. not in a u.s. marine sort of way, but in an effective way of communication, education, and understanding. "what will i do?" i'll tell you after i finish this spliff...but your experience has affected me, and i thank you for sharing it. i don't write comments on blogs. your life is the best song. enjoy the snow. LB
Leith, I'm glad to get to "meet" a regular reader of the Blog and even happier that the music I've posted untill now could make your day. But it's up to me to thank you: the fact that somebody I have never met can show me such support and compassion goes a long way to erase the memory that somebody else I had never met was intent on killing me as well as a few other hundred persons ...
Thanks again for taking the time to leave your comment: the world is a cold and scary place at times and human warmth is the only thing which gives it more sense.
Keep rocking
Le Baron
sympathetic location! fount done!
