Emon - incredible writing and insight - you’ve found the golden hive - and the honey is sweeter when it’s mellowed. I’m a fellow bee embarking on a new career that was cut short 20 years ago by a suicide. A new boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend bee-friended me when she saw she couldn’t destroy me, but eventually her self-hatred destroyed her. I was a poet and beginning journalist, and all of my writings where strewn around the room and photographed by the police and used as evidence of a potential homocide after she committed suicide in my bedroom when I was gone one night. I barely knew her, but was followed by detectives for months afterward until I approached her preacher to approach her family so I could explain my position, and that I had bee-friended her, but she had too much loss of self from prior events I had nothing to do with to find herself. It made me afraid to share myself with anyone, and to feel there must be a reason so many bad things had happened to me. I decided to develop internally and found knowledge is power… I’ve now graduated from college with an English degree and am starting out freelancing to work my way up as a rock journalist- my first piece is on none other than Blind Melon. They’ve reunited and are putting on Killer Bee shows - Travis is awesome and unassuming and I have to pinch myself to remember it’s not the original band. Such an bee-utiful tribute to Shannon - the band in my opinion has only ripened, mellowed and is better than ever…I think Shannon’s spirit is buzzing more intensely than ever during those shows…WOW…I can’t wait to see what’s next. I hope you’re checking out the Blind Melon Forum and BeeMelon…excellent ways to stay in touch with others bees - I’m smiling…thanks 2 you!!! P.s> check out Eye and Mind -Shannon’s mom’s jewelry website- she’s dealing with cancer and could use the support of the Melon community - peace…

emon,

thank you for your post. it’s exactly what i needed to hear. i was really shy and insecure growing up and even though i’m not the same way now i still feel like sometimes i don’t know what the hell im doing, who i am, and what i want to be. but can’t stop trying though, right?

You will probably find this as moving as I did…

I saw Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary fame) in concert the other day and he sang this song. I had never cried at a concert until then.

Spot on! I was a gawky, weird kid with a sense of humour and a similarly wild imagination. It took me until I was 30 let all that shit go… now I know I wouldn’t be who I am without it and as a result, I’m happy.

Inner bees unite!

Cheers

You’re welcome, Pam! Clarity makes one choose the right road. Here’s to that journey after you’ve found it.
