“It’s just music”. Words that I carry with me to this very day. Richard said it often. Looking back, I believe he was purposely drilling this into my head. He knew me. Letting go was new for me during that time of my life. We would be in the same room often, and I would just watch him. The opening of his hands. In thought. Silence. Positioning a microphone. His long pauses. His sayings. Patiently waiting for me to catch on.
Everything strange. Everything still beautiful. We talk often in prayer. He is still pushing me. He is in every room that I walk into. He is still breaking my heart.
