Words of Wisdom from Bear
Bear died on May 8, 2008. A day I do and will mark on my calendar and observe.
But this thread is not really about Bear, even though he deserves one.
It is all about what he had to say much more elegantly than I could ever say. Funny, this big, burley, hairy, tattooed biker was so poetic and sweet.
I think so often about that elevator he talked about. As a long term abber I have thought about that elevator so often. I love Bear for that elevator.
I got off that elevator many times for various amounts of time but somehow seemed to end up back on it for another floor or two. Remember, as Bear said. The elevator only goes down. Never up. And once you are on it, you are on. There is no stop button. Just the next floor if you are fast and smart.
If B is for Basement which is where the morgue is, then the last time I got off was on the first floor. Luckily I have been able to stay off the elevator for a while. And after wandering around on the first floor for a while, I found out there are stairs.
Stairs are a hell of a lot more work than the elevator. But stairs go up. This elevator only goes down. But if you stay off that damn elevator and look around hard enough you can find the stairs and if you expend the energy, you can actually walk up a floor. Maybe two or three floors with time.
You really can do that. Bear did that. He would have said that if he had lived a little longer.
Good luck, my friends.
