Remembering George
-
This past Monday was difficult again for me this year. It never fails At 4:30pm on the dot I was in tears. I wrote George a poem you can read it here on this link http://board.georgeharrison.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16741 I'll never forget George. He'll always be in my heart.

It was difficult for me this year too and I don't know why. It hasn't been this difficult in a long time. even though I keep having dreams about George telling me good things about myself and how I will not be hurt by the bad people in my life despite their efforts, they will fail and where I will succeed. I've written a lot of George fics recently and they'll be posted soon. (Some are already at my blog). George just is in my head right now inspiring me.

I know it isn't anywhere close to the anniversary of George's death (or his birthday), but I came across this thread and decided to put in my 2 cents anyway. It's hard for me to put into words what George's music and personality (if that's the right word ... just everything he said in interviews and his way of living his life) has meant to me. He's a constant inspiration to me. His music helped me through some very rough times recently ... Give me Love and My Sweet Lord actually brought me back from the brink of some fairly intense self-destruction. I am now happier than I've ever been, and I have him to thank for that. I almost feel as though George and I are kindred spirits ... there have been multiple times when I've been listening to a George song or watching an interview with him, and I get this profound feeling of calmness, happiness, and just ... peace. And I have this unmistakable feeling that he's right there next to me just saying that everything is going to be ok. I guess that's why, while I'm terribly sad that he's not around physically anymore (all I'd honestly want to talk to him about if he were still around is guitar-playing technique ), his death really does just seem to me like the death of his physical body. George has never felt far away to me. I'm not one to necessarily believe in a lot of supernatural things by nature, but I've just had a few experiences that have sort of confirmed to me that he's around. I don't doubt that John is still around, too, but I guess I feel like I'm more connected to George on a spiritual level because John does feel far away to me. Anyway, that's my bad attempt to put into words how I feel!

A extraordanary man with many sides. Immense talent and much missed. I have been listening to George since I got in from work. He really had a unique mind and one is that is rarely to be found in todays music makers. Love ya George, and cheers!

Here's a great quote about George from Ringo: RINGO STARR: 'You're on holiday with him and every morning he'd say, 'Oh, come and see the trees'. 'Okay, yeah'. And then the next day, 'Oh, come and see the trees'. 'Yeah, okay'. And then, 'Come and see...' 'I've seen your bloody trees!''

Loved George's flannel shirt, in vivid jewel tones (the squares pattern) he wore in my last dream he popped up in. It was so colorful, so glowing He was dancing, prancing around as he played his guitar and sang...in lumberjack boots, not Cuban ones His hair long and curly and pulled back in a pony tail. He led us through the woods singing, like a fab pied piper thanks for that nocturnal dreamscape featuring you, George (smiley face) which came out the blue appropos of nothing, it wasn't this anniversary or anything.

I was really upset one night and decided to calm down and listen to George's All Things Must Pass album for the first time. It was... a strange moment. Every lyric felt like he was talking to me specifically... comforting me. It was awesome. The album is bloody genius and I'm only sorry I hadn't bothered to discover his solo music sooner.
