I think that when we're young its always a hell of a shock when someone we know, who is our age dies. Until then it always seems that only older people die.
I had a dance teacher a few years back, who helped set up Shakti here, similar organisation.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
