I have only been "official" for a couple of days and I have found so much peace here. I realize now that my behavior, albeit unusual for me, is just like everyone else here. We have all come together united by art. The art of music. People flock to museums to see paintings, sporting venues/bars for sporting events and we, David's fans, devotees, whatever we call ourselves come here. We come together out of respect for his gift to us. I need a mantra that I can repeat to myself every time I start to feel weird about all of this however. Open to suggestions there.
The thing that I didn't expect was the instant camaraderie that I have found. That was a gift most needed at this time in my life. For so many of us this interest exceeds the acceptance of others in our lives so we are less than forthcoming about what we are doing or at the least how frequently we do it. Anyway, I just wanted to say "Thanks" to all of you for being so welcoming.
